Abstract

In this talk, the recent film Oppenheimer will be taken as an opportunity to chat about some of the greatest theoretical physicists of the last century, their greatest discoveries, and the impact which they have had on the development of quantum mechanics, in particular, and on the progress of scientific thought, in general, during the last century.
