J. Robert Oppenheimer is credited with being the father of the atomic bomb. When he witnessed the first nuclear explosion in the deserts of New Mexico in the USA on July 16, 1945, by his own admission he immediately thought of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita “ Now I become Death destroyer of the worlds”.
This is a reference to Chapter 11, Verse 32. Virtually all translations of the word “Kaala” in this verse render it as “Time” or “the eternal Time-Spirit”. But Oppenheimer used “Kaala” to mean “Death”. This is because he had studied Sanskrit in the early 1930s at the University of California at Berkeley under Arthur Ryder whose translation of the Bhagavad Gita had appeared in 1929. It was Ryder who had translated Kaala as Death.
Incidentally, Bakhtiar Dadabhoy in his recent biography of Homi Bhabha writes that when Oppenheimer was under attack in the early 1950s for his communist leanings Bhabha after consulting Nehru sounded him out on immigrating to India. There is really no conclusive archival evidence for this, but Bhabha may well have verbally sounded Oppenheimer out. But ironically, Bernard Peters, who was betrayed as a communist by Oppenheimer to the American authorities in 1949, was invited by Bhabha to TIFR in 1951.
Peters made very important scientific contributions in cosmic rays and nuclear research at TIFR before emigrating to Denmark. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1985.

Here is the economics of Twitter blue ticks in one tweet:
Cornell’s degrees are very valuable. People are willing to pay for it. If Cornell decides that it will now on sell all it’s degrees for a price, the market price of Cornell degree will quickly fall to zero.
You, the reader, are capable of discerning where classic books are wrong — about how they describe people, about what they portray as moral or immoral
