To me it reflects the Vedic view of God in three expressions;

Vishnu: the preserver
Brahma: the creator
And in the case of Oppenheimer's quote;

Kali: the destroyer

Yes I believe he understood the meaning of Kali the destroyer. But this belief is only as a result of what I read here. Kennedy wants to negotiate a peace with Russia and I can see why you would support his effort. My view though different on this issue is just that; another view. And that is as long as a nation (including our own) tortures, murders and kills dissent they are responsible for such crimes against humanity, regardless of what nation. We have the first amendment in the U.S. Do we follow it religiously? I would say no.

Anyone even considering using the atomic bomb again is seriously out of their mind and should be removed from office - and this is the case with Vladimir Putin - if we can find a way to do that. Even surreptitiously if the opportunity arises. As you know Krishna councils Arjuna to remove his brother from power because he seized power from Arjuna without any repercussions unless Arjuna would set righteousness back in order. That was his duty and in our case we have a duty as well. It is clear that a maniacal man has attempted to grip power from another nation by aggression.

I have no plans to see the movie but if a friend wants to see it and it doesn’t interfere with my daily meditation I certainly would watch it. Eric, you are talking about this above;  In June of 1947 Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer together wrote a TOP SECRET six page document entitled “Relationships with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies”. It says the presence of unidentified spacecraft is accepted as de facto by the military. Unfortunately, it is more likely that they will show this in the film….

It’s likely this pondside scene between the two will be a memorable one. Maybe Tom Conti’s Einstein will show concern for Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer and warn him about weaponizing the atom as they discuss their philosophical and ethical differences. Maybe they’ll just chat about particles and relativity, or the weather. Either way, this cameo brings a different kind of star power to Oppenheimer.
