Summary
| Description |
English: The letter J in Oppenheimer’s first name is still a mystery. Most sources—including Oppenheimer’s own birth certificate and a 1944 letter from the War Department granting Oppenheimer his security clearance—state that Oppenheimer’s first name was Julius. Numerous other people, though—including Oppenheimer himself— insisted the J didn’t stand for anything at all. In a 1946 letter to the U.S. Patent Office (pictured), Oppenheimer wrote: “This is to certify that I have no first name other than the letter J, and that my full and correct name is J Robert Oppenheimer.” |
