Robert Openhajmer (engl. J. Robert Oppenheimer[1], Njujork, 22. april 1904 — Prinston, 18. februar 1967), američki fizičar.

Bio je direktor Instituta za napredne studije u Prinstonu. Poznat je po radovima iz nuklearne fizike. Godine 1936. otkrio je tip nuklearnih reakcija poznatih pod nazivom stripping reakcije, koje su važne pri određivanju nuklearne strukture. Tokom Drugog svetskog rata bio je na čelu istraživačkog rada za proizvodnju atomske bombe u Los Alamosu. Posle rata negativno se odnosio prema projektu izrade H-bombe, pa je 1954. optužen zbog simpatija prema komunizmu. Iako su policijska ispitivanja dokazala njegovu lojalnost SAD, ipak mu je zabranjen pristup poverljivim dokumentima o nuklearnom istraživanjima. Iako je ostao bez direktnog političkog uticaja, Openhajmer je nastavio da predaje, piše i radi u oblasti fizike. Deceniju kasnije, predsednik Džon F. Kenedi mu je dodelio nagradu Enriko Fermi, što je bio gest političke rehabilitacije. Kao naučnik, Openhajmer je najviše ostao zapamćen po tome što je bio glavni osnivač Američke škole teorijske fizike dok je bio na Univerzitetu Berkli.

Reference

  1. ↑ Značenje slova J u imenu J. Robert Oppenheimer je izvor mnogih zabuna. Istoričari Elis Kimbol Smit i Čarls Vajner su sumirali opšto istorijsko mišljenje u svom delu Robert Oppenheimer: Letters and recollections (Harvard University Press: Cambridge, 1980), na strani 1: Da li 'J' u Robertovom imenu predstavlja Džulijus (engl. Julius; Njujork, 22. april 1904 — Prinston, 18. februar 1967) ili, kao što je sam Robert jednom rekao 'ne predstavlja ništa', možda nikada neće biti u potpunosti razrešeno. Njegov brat Frenk kaže da je 'J' bilo simbolično, gest u smeru davanja imena najstarijem sinu po ocu, ali u isto vreme signal da njegovi roditelji nisu želeli da Robert bude 'junior'. U delu Pitera Gudčajlda, J. Robert Oppenheimer: Shatterer of Worlds (Houghton Mifflin: Boston, 1981), se kaže da je Robertov otac, Džulijus, dodao prazan inicijal kako bi Robertovom imenu dao dodatnu distinkciju, ali Gudčajldova knjiga nema fusnote, tako da je izvor ovog tvrđenja nejasan. Robertovo tvrđenje da J. predstavlja ništa je uzeto iz autobiografskog intervjua koji je sproveo Tomas S. Kun, 18. novembra 1963. Kada je istraživao Openhajmera tokom tridesetih i četrdesetih godina dvadesetog veka, i sam FBI je bio zbunjen ovim J, i pogrešno je ocenjeno da ono verovatno stoji za Džulijus ili, čudnije, Džerom (engl. Jerome). Sa druge strane, u Openhajmerovom rodnom listu stoji Džulijus Robert Openhajmer, sudeći prema nekim skorijim biografijama.
