Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was an American theoretical physicist who was a manager in the [[Manhattan Project]] in [[Los Alamos]], [[New Mexico]].  He was a bright student and popular teacher, but never made significant contributions to the field of physics and was repeatedly passed over in the awarding of [[Nobel Prize|Nobel Prizes]].  The media generally liked Oppenheimer's politics and gave him credit as "the man who built the atomic bomb," when in fact Oppenheimer was merely a high-level manager and did little of the theoretically or actual experimental work behind it.

Oppenheimer's best-known scientific contribution was to suggest a limit to the size of neutron stars. Larger neutron stars would collapse into [[black holes]] according to the theory of relativity.
