Oppenheimer: Remembering the physics that first made him great

J. Robert Oppenheimer had already made a foray into the topic of stellar collapse, which convinced him of the inevitability of black holes. Together with his student George Volkoff, he was able to significantly extend Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar’s result. Then, with Hartland Snyder, Oppenheimer provided a remarkably accurate mathematical description of the…
