Terrible Beauty: A-Bomb Tests - Photo Gallery - LIFE

Oppenheimer, scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which invented the atomic bomb, was a brilliant physicist and theoretician who is often viewed today as either 1) an irresponsible scientist of unchecked hubris who set humanity on the path to eventual nuclear annihilation, or 2) a sensitive seeker after truth whose ideas and insights were perverted by right-wing militarists for their own nefarious ends.
