    honestly i find it really funny how oppenheimer in this video is characterized as a creepy old man, completely reversed with how he's usually depicted in media

    • @MQTate
      @MQTate  2 дня назад +52

      I think Oppenheimer’s story is one that’s very easy to romanticise. “Tortured genius whose career was ruined by McCarthyist freaks” is a good sell for a Christopher Nolan film (which I generally liked) but the weirder parts of Oppenheimer’s legacy aren’t as well known as they should be. Unquestionably brilliant but man he got up to some odd shit lmao

    I attended a standing room only lecture by Pauling at a Texas Medical School in the mid-80s. I don't recall the details, but his lecture centered on ibuprofen (he pronounced it 'uh-BOO-profen' which is why I remember his subject matter). I do remember his lecture style to be engaging and the gist of his lecture to be plausible - maybe more so because he was considered Medical Royalty at the time.

    My buddy who I've taken chem with loves Linus Pauling from our shared chem classes, but I learned he was crazy from my bio class which I took without him, its funny to me since I've loved praising him with the phrase "we've got the next Linus Pauling here" even before I learned about his work on biochem. Maybe this video will show him it's a now a bit of a backhanded compliment

    Dealing with a dysfunctional parent is a deeply traumatizing experience, in his case that meant he had to be overly self reliant and really didn't have someone to listen to him and correct his behavior.

    • @MQTate
      @MQTate  8 часов назад +2

      It's sad how early kids from dysfunctional households have to grow up. I didn't have time to mention in the video, but Pauling was pretty absent with his own kids. Ava was, by all accounts, a doting mother, and it was common for married men in the 30s and 40s to not see much of their children, especially ones as busy as Linus. But I do wonder whether he'd have spent more time with them if his father had lived for another 30 years

    After getting diagnosed with ADHD and getting treatment, I've really started enjoying learning about physics in general.
    I also started to really like learning about the history about alot of things(WWII)
    This video was super entertaining to hear, and I watched along so I can keep up with the names and not get confused lol
    I'm really excited for part 2 of the video, and I'm really glad I found your channel.
    I think I'm going to be listening to the rest of the videos you have uploaded previously during my commutes for a while lol
    I've subscribed, and I'm genuinely excited to learn about new people I wouldn't have had any interest in if it weren't for these videos.
    I wanted to share the joy I got from the video, instead of just clicking off.

    Impressive how much he worked while studying, he's very fortunate he didn't break down. Can't help but wonder if he used chemical stimulants like Paul Erdos. I also have a suspicion that all his time working menial jobs with people who struggled to get by made him feel like workers deserved better treatment. It's a completely normal reaction to the struggle.

    I REALLY REALLY hate to be that guy, but at 0:42 when you say, "Pauling is the only person in history whose prizes were unshared" Marie Curie came to my mind instantly. She has 1 nobel prize in chemistry and 1 in physics, unless i missunderstood what you meant. Despite this I also want to say awesome video! I've been really enjoying your channel recently and I wish you all the best! Love from Poland (literally the only reason why I know that Marie Curie had 2 nobel prizes).
