American Prometheus: The Early Years of J. Robert Oppenheimer

脚本必须使用： “In the early 1900s, a young boy named J. Robert Oppenheimer was born into a world that was rapidly changing, much like himself. Raised in New York City, Robert grew up in a privileged household with a father who was a successful businessman and a mother who was a painter. His childhood was filled with books, art, and culture, yet he often felt out of place. A sensitive and introspective child, Robert was different from others his age. His parents recognized his intellect early on and nurtured it, but his brilliance came with a price: social isolation. As a young boy in the 1910s, Robert found solace in the world of minerals and crystals. He began collecting rocks, fascinated by their structures, a hobby that would later blossom into a profound interest in science. His parents, ever supportive, encouraged this passion by providing him with books and a high-quality microscope. This early fascination was not just a childhood pastime; it was a sign of his developing scientific curiosity. At the age of twelve, he was invited to give a lecture at the New York Mineralogical Club, an honor usually reserved for seasoned professionals. As he nervously approached the podium, a small, unassuming boy among adults, his presence was unexpected, his knowledge impressive. The audience, initially skeptical, was quickly won over by his depth of understanding. Robert’s academic journey began in earnest when he attended the Ethical Culture School in New York. The school was founded on the principle of developing not just the intellect but the moral character of its students. It was here that Robert’s mind was exposed to the wonders of science, literature, and philosophy. He excelled in his studies, mastering subjects like Latin and Greek, while also diving deep into chemistry and physics. His teachers recognized his exceptional abilities, describing him as someone who “received every new idea as perfectly beautiful.” But while his mind was a furnace of ideas, socially he remained distant, often perceived as aloof or even arrogant by his peers. By 1922, Robert’s passion for science had led him to Harvard University. Initially studying chemistry, he quickly found his true calling in theoretical physics. Harvard was a transformative experience. He was surrounded by brilliant minds, yet Robert remained somewhat of an outsider, his sharp intellect and intense focus setting him apart. In his own words, he later reflected, "I was an unctuous, repulsively good little boy." This self-awareness highlighted his internal struggle between his intellectual prowess and his social awkwardness. ” 标题使用：American Prometheus 视频内容为英语，字幕为英语字幕，标题为英语，不使用副标题。根据内容自动规划匹配风格。
