| | Oppenheimer fled to the Institute of Advanced Study, where he was the active director, after being expelled from government duty. President John F. Kennedy invited Oppenheimer to a banquet for Nobel laureates in 1961, when he showed his respect for Oppenheimer's work. Lyndon B. Johnson presented Oppenheimer with the Enrico Fermi Prize in 1963 for his "many contributions to theoretical physics and the advancement of science in our nation." Oppenheimer was later nominated for the honor by Kennedy, but he was slain before the medal was formally presented to him.

| | Unfortunately, Oppenheimer's most famous work does not qualify for Nobel Prize consideration since the committee does not accept military technology. Most of Oppenheimer's accomplishments, particularly his prediction of black holes, could have earned him a Nobel Prize if he had lived long enough to see the discoveries he pioneered come to fruition. Others believe Oppenheimer should not have received the medal since he never specialized in a single field of physics. [([[https://discover.lanl.gov/news/0609-oppie-nobel-prize/|lanl]])] |
