核心要点
When a Physicist Became a Blacklisted Rancher
The brother of the man who built the atomic bomb stood in the snow at 8,000 feet, trying to figure out how to keep cattle alive through a Colorado winter. Frank Oppenheimer-once a Manhattan-born physicist working on uranium separation for the Manhattan Project-now wore rancher's overalls and mucked out stalls. His crime? Joining the Communist Party in 1937 to fight fascism, then lying about it when fear overtook him. The FBI had ended his career, denied his passport, and driven him from the laboratories where he'd studied cosmic rays. Yet this exile would become the crucible for something extraordinary: a museum that would transform how millions experience science. The Exploratorium, opening in 1969 in San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts, didn't just display science behind glass-it invited people to touch, break, and discover. Frank's journey from privilege to blacklist to revolutionary educator reveals how sometimes our greatest contributions emerge not despite our detours, but because of them.
