On the 6th of August 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Today we will remember that day 68 years ago and all its consequences, with an episode inspired by the life of Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist leader of the Manhattan Project and main responsible for the creation of the atomic bomb.

After contributing decisively for the creation of the first atomic bomb, Oppenheimer lived a life of self-blame (and several suicide attempts) for the lives of all those who died with the bomb.
