Robert Oppenheimer

The "Father of the Atomic Bomb" who brought the fire of the sun down to earth and realized, too late, what he had done. A polymath who quoted the Bhagavad Gita as the first mushroom cloud rose: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." He represents the "Tragedy of Knowledge"—the scientist who broke the world to save it, and spent the rest of his life haunted by the ghost of the atom.
