Oppenheimer Realizes the Chain Reaction Worked

Text on the meme

When I came to you with those calculations we thought we might start a chain reaction I remember it well. OPPENHEIMER

What it means

J. Robert Oppenheimer speaks with Albert Einstein on a lawn about calculations that could trigger a chain reaction, then silently realizes they may have actually destroyed the world. The dramatic film dialogue is turned into an absurd reaction meme about discovering that a risky plan really worked, underscored by Linkin Park’s intense song “What I’ve Done.”

Speech

Calvin, when I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world. I remember that well. I thought that. I believe we did.
