As Oppy discusses Hoke taking his son for a while, he reaches for an object on the table, idly manipulating it before discreetly stowing it in his pocket as Hoke urges him to remain seated. What is this object? (41:40 is the timestamp)
Peter is the son not daughter
Whoops thank you
He's playing with a pack of matches. He then puts them in his pocket.
This definitely makes the most sense. You can even hear them skake. I wonder why he put them in his pocket? (Probably insignificant either way)
He'll use 'em later. Bit of a smoker.
I thought it was just a lighter.
His secret Plutonium dose
an after-dinner mint perhaps?
He stashed a cigarette to channel his inner Thomas Shelby for later
a Hims boner pill.
Oppie put in his pocket a rubber ball.
Just a rubber ball? No, not just any rubbah ball. It's Quantum Mechanics. Are you observing closely?
Every Grand unified theory consists of three parts.
The first act is called the Pledge, or the hypothesis: the theorist takes something ordinarily Classical, like the Einstein tensor or the Geodesic equation.
He's showing you this operator, that metric, perhaps he'll ask you to inspect them to make sure that it's indeed invariant, unmodified, real. But of course, it probably isn't.
The second act is called the Turn, the theorist takes that ordinary concept and makes the Lagrangian density which he's integrated over all spacetime and the action functional obey something extraordinary, like an unknown symmetry.
Now you're looking for the secret method... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. Nobody wants to experimentally confirm anything, you want to be fooled. So you wouldn't clap yet.
Because making something Quantised isn't enough; you have to bring it back to its classical form through approximations. That's why every theory has a third act, the hardest part where we apply it to manufacture weapons of mass destruction,... the part we call Le Bomb.
The detonator
Wobbling top
He stole Hoke’s iodine pills so he gets thyroid cancer in 10ish years
A nuclear bomb. It is a reference to the real life J Robert Oppenheimer who accomplished the creation of the original nuclear bomb.
Something like his lighter bc he’s a huge smoker at the time, perhaps his cigarette or like someone said a mint. Candy or chocolate on the table bc Oppie loves his chocolate didn’t really show it in the film and either Cillian didn’t knew then but just thinking what he could put in his pocket from someone’s house like someone you know very well. Maybe a picture of Peter since he’s giving Haak Peter
•A burnt polaroid of his commie mistress Jean Tatlock who got raped and murdered in the bathtub by a secret agent.
•A double-sided coin from his old friend Werner Heisenberg (signifying the dualistic nature of matter, being both particles and waves, as well as the duality of man, and serving as a symbol of probability and chance being the only morality in a cruelly random world).
• A dice from Einstein, who met him in his dreams. God does not play dice, but Oppie throws dice because he's playing God, with his Prometheus Complex.

Reddit needs to remove this post or Subreddit as it's called because the posts are fake asking about one of world's worst movie that's ever been made. I'm scratching my head because I read people asking about different scenes trying to convince the public that they were aware of a certain scene because the movie received an Oscar.
Or, remove this Subreddit because anyone praising the movie obviously has been paid off to praise it. It's a horrible movie, it's the most boring piece of shit I've ever seen. Then I get a few people who have become upset telling me that I should get off of reddit and not post a comment. There's no way this movie actually won for Best Picture without the Academy being bribed to make the world think it's Oscar worthy of an award because it wasn't and nobody will ever convince other wise. The face that comments are being posted on reddit raises questions, eye brows and awareness that the movie didn't win.
Each year a movie is awarded and nobody ever said anything about it after it won. This piece of shit movie is being overly praised because it's horrible. Nobody ever got on social media and praised a movie at all or ever. A movie wins and that's the end of it. Someone had fakes get on reddit and praise this absolutely disastrous senseless horrible movie so people will think it's great and maybe watch another movie by the same producers.
Oppenheimer 👎👎👎. Booooo Hissss
It is my favorite movie. Art is subjective. Get off the internet
