138 - Teller and Oppenheimer devoted their lives to America

When I was a little boy, I read a story about Oppenheimer. The author wrote, “Oppenheimer is an encyclopedist of our times”. The author this story stated in those days, Oppenheimer was well known physicist, and he had very widely knowledge of humanities. He knew Latin and Greek languages; he learned Italian during a few weeks, because he wanted to read Italian poets in original.
I’m glad that I have an opportunity to deepen my knowledge about these two scientists, exactly in the USA, their fatherland.
Teller and Oppenheimer’s ways to America were different. E. Teller left Europe at the age of 27 for political reasons. J. Oppenheimer was born in the USA. His parents came to the USA from Europe.
In fact, America was Teller and Oppenheimer’s a truthful homeland. Teller rejected by Europe, just in the USA found proper circumstances for his academic career.
Both scientists devoted to America their whole life and genius; therefore, the progressive world cannot forget about their contributions for the mankind. Americans should be proud of them. I am convinced that such is the reality.
