Even episodes demonstrating the laws of physics were made by practical means.

Universal released a six-minute video of the making of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, with footage from the film and set. In it, you can also see how the director’s team tried to recreate the Trinity nuclear test, even if all the details about it were not shared.
According to Nolan, he was interested in the biography of the “father of the atomic bomb” for a very long time. And he considers the most curious fact from the history of the Manhattan project to be that before the Trinity test, the team of scientists assumed a small probability that the explosion would ignite the Earth’s atmosphere, but did not abandon their plans.
Nolan once again noted that he was trying not to resort to the help of computer graphics: most of the filming was done on location, as well as in specially built scenery.
For example, several episodes were filmed at Princeton University and the real home of Robert Oppenheimer, and for those scenes that took place in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a significant part of the city and the laboratory located in it were recreated. Moreover, it was built not so far from the real Los Alamos, constructing the buildings as a whole, and not just their facades, as is often done in the case of urban scenery.
For frames that were supposed to depict the “world of quantum physics”, practical effects were also used. According to cinematographer Hoite van Hoytema, the entire special effects team was more like a group of scientists working on a science project.
According to the filmmakers, in any other case, these sequences would certainly have been made using CGI. However, experts tried to experiment and find “analogue” ways to reproduce certain physical phenomena and processes.
Nolan himself noted that all these experiments eventually led the team to the main task – filming the episode with the test of the first nuclear bomb. According to him, they managed to achieve a result that graphics can not reproduce in any way.
This was to create a nightmarish, frightening effect that computer graphics almost never produce.
The shots included in the final version of the film, I think surprisingly beautiful. But very scary at the same time.

Everyone involved in the work on the film noted its scope and emphasized that this is a movie created specifically for viewing on the big screen. And Robert Downey Jr. even called Oppenheimer “a defining moment in the history of modern cinema.”
Oppenheimer will be released on July 21st. As Nolan previously stated in an interview, there is not a single CGI shot in the film.
