Rịba ama amaokwu a dị n'okpuru ma zaa ajụjụ ahụ mgbe e mesịrị n'otu asụsụ ahụ dị ka amaokwu ahụ:  N'afọ 1924, a gwara Oppenheimer na a nabatala ya na Christ's College, Cambridge. O degaara Ernest Rutherford akwụkwọ ozi na-arịọ ka e kwe ka ya rụọ ọrụ na Cavendish Laboratory. Bridgman nyere Oppenheimer nkwanye, nke kwetara na Oppenheimer adịghị ike n'ụlọ nyocha mere ka o doo anya na ike ya abụghị nnwale kama ọ bụ nkà mmụta sayensị. Rutherford enweghị mmasị, ma Oppenheimer gara Cambridge na-enwe olileanya inweta ọrụ ọzọ. J. J. Thomson mechara nabata ya ma ọ bụrụ na o mechaa ihe ọmụmụ ụlọ nyocha. Ya na onye nkụzi ya, Patrick Blackett, onye ji nanị afọ ole na ole tọọ ya, malitere inwe mmekọrịta na-adịghị mma. Mgbe Oppenheimer nọ ezumike, dị ka enyi ya bụ́ Francis Fergusson chetara, o nwere mgbe o kwupụtara na ya hapụrụ apụl e ji ọgwụ ọjọọ mee n'elu tebụl Blackett. Ọ bụ ezie na akụkọ Fergusson bụ naanị nkọwa zuru ezu nke ihe omume a, ndị isi mahadum ahụ dọrọ ndị nne na nna Oppenheimer aka na ntị bụ ndị tụlere itinye ya na nnwale, akara aka nke ndị nne na nna ya na-eme ka ndị isi nwee ihe ịga nke ọma. Oppenheimer bụ onye na-ese anwụrụ ọkụ ogologo, dị gịrịgịrị, onye na-eleghara iri nri anya n'oge echiche siri ike na itinye uche. Ọtụtụ n'ime ndị enyi ya kọwara ya dị ka onye na-achọ ibibi onwe ya. Otu ihe na-enye nsogbu n'obi mere mgbe ọ hapụrụ ọmụmụ ihe ya na Cambridge iji zute Fergusson na Paris. Fergusson chọpụtara na ahụ́ adịghị Oppenheimer. Iji nyere ya aka ịdọpụ uche ya site na ịda mbà n'obi ya, Fergusson gwara Oppenheimer na ya (Fergusson) ga-alụ enyi ya nwanyị Frances Keeley. Oppenheimer anabataghị ozi ọma ahụ nke ọma. Ọ gbagara Fergusson ma nwaa igbu ya. Ọ bụ ezie na Fergusson mere ngwa ngwa zere mwakpo ahụ, ihe omume ahụ mere ka o kweta na Oppenheimer nwere nnukwu nsogbu uche. N'oge ndụ ya niile, Oppenheimer nwere oge ịda mbà n'obi, o nwedịrị mgbe ọ gwara nwanne ya nwoke, sị, "Achọrọ m physics karịa ndị enyi". N'afọ 1926, Oppenheimer hapụrụ Cambridge gaa Mahadum Göttingen ka ọ gụọ akwụkwọ n'aka Max Born....  Ajụjụ: Gịnị mere Bridgman ji chee na Oppenheimer ekwesịghị ịrụ ọrụ n'ihe ọmụmụ physics?
