Happy Birthday Albert Einstein
Top | Newest First | Oldest First
For all his brilliance he did a terrible thing; he gave the rulers of the world's nations a fiendish weapon of mass destruction : The atomic bomb. I truly wish his morals and wisdom were equal to his intellectual brilliance and he would have refused to work on hellish nuclear weapons.

@badminton Einstein was denied the security clearance to work on the Manhattan Project. So he never worked in nuclear weapons. What he did do was write a letter to then president Roosevelt, at Leo Szilard’s encouragement, warning that the Nazis were working on a nuclear weapon and that they could not get one before us. But he never worked on the Manhattan Project. His contribution was through mass-energy equivalence which came out of his work on relativity.
