Fact: Oppenheimer was ahead of his time on black holes
The day Hitler invaded Poland, Oppenheimer and his student Hartland Snyder published an important paper about "heavy stars" running out of fuel and collapsing. The paper followed up on the work of several other scientists, but Oppenheimer didn't publish on the topic again.
Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne describes how "truly strange" other scientists found this concept at the time. Even John Wheeler, who popularized the term "black hole" in 1967, fought against the idea in the 1950s.
Roger Penrose described black holes in 1964, for which he would win the Nobel Prize in 2020. After his win, Penrose cited Oppenheimer and Snyder's paper as one of the inspirations for his research.
