Oppenheim published a proposal in 2023 for a hybrid theory that couples classical general relativity with quantum field theory. According to this proposal, spacetime is not quantized but smooth and continuous, and is subject to random fluctuations.
Belonging to different generations, Einstein (1879–1955) and Oppenheimer (1904–1967), with the full development of quantum mechanics by 1925 marking a delineation, represented the shifted approach in being either a theoretical physicist or an experimental physicist since the mid-1920s when being both became rare due to the division of labor.
Jeremy Bernstein described it as "one of the great papers in twentieth-century physics." [14] After winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020, Roger Penrose would credit the Oppenheimer–Snyder model as one of his inspirations for research. [16] [12] The Hindu wrote in 2023: [17] The world of physics does indeed remember the paper.
During the period between 1942-45, Oppenheimer was responsible for the employment of Lomanitz on the atomic bomb project. Oppenheimer urged him to work on the Manhattan Project, although Oppenheimer later told government security personnel that he knew Lomanitz had been very much of a "red" when he first came to the University of California ...
