 | The Cartesian theater is a little theater room inside the head of a human in which a tinier version of the same human views the life of the big human as a movie and controls the big human. The theory for such a headroom was first posited by René Descartes who claimed that: "I think, therefore a little clone of me inside my head am." Some neurosurgeons have attempted to discover and safely extract the little human for neurosurgical reasons. Right now, the little human is enjoying a movie about an egg.

.jpg) | J. Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist who served as the director of the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II. He is often called the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in overseeing the development of the first nuclear weapons. During the Second Red Scare, his stances, together with his past associations with the Communist Party USA, led to an AEC security hearing in 1954 and the revocation of his security clearance. He continued to lecture, write, and work in physics, and in 1963 received the Enrico Fermi Award for contributions to theoretical physics. This photograph shows Oppenheimer in 1944.
