諾蘭 Nolan 新片奧本海默

Ava Helen. She enjoyed Oppenheimer enormously, took pleasure in talking with him and flirting a little with him, as she did with almost everybody on social occasions. Perhaps she flirted a little more than usual, for Oppenheimer was unusually intriguing. Perhaps he felt her interest went beyond a casual friendship. It all went a little too far, in any case, when Oppenheimer came to her one day in 1929 when Pauling was at work and blurted out a clumsy invitation to join him on a tryst to Mexico. Surprised and flattered, Ava Helen told him no, of course not, she was married and took it seriously. That night, she reported the whole thing to Pauling. "I think she was somewhat pleased with herself as a femme fatale," Pauling said. Seeing how pleased she was, Pauling immediately cut off his relationship with Oppenheimer, ending any chance of collaboration on the chemical bond and leading to a coolness between the two men that would last for the rest of their lives.
