Albert Einstein's Impact Of The Atomic Bomb

The atomic bomb was used by the Americans in Japan, on two separate occasions, the first one on the 6th of August in 1945, during World War II; the U.S dropped nuclear atomic bombs in Japan in Hiroshima which was named “Little Boy” and the second one was dropped on Nagasaki three days later called “Fat Boy,” The two bombings, killed around 129,000 people. This was the first and last time in human history that nuclear bombs were used in warfare. In Hiroshima, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who watched the explosion from 20 miles away, was reminded of a verse in the Hindu scripture The Bhagavad Gita: "I am become DEATH, the destroyer of worlds" ("The Agony."). What an event in time that shook the Earth to its core. Countries, continents and, countryman

Albert Einstein indirectly created the Atomic Bomb, but his contributions were two simple yet powerful things E=mc^2; an equation meaning energy equals mass times the speed of light, and secondly he also wrote a letter to the American president Franklin D Roosevelt, telling him we needed to clearly develop this bomb before the Germans. The Germans made efforts to enrich Uranium- 235, which could be used to build a nuclear bomb. This idea started to make head way which unsettled the Americans, so the Americans rushed to complete the bomb ahead of the Germans. It was shortly thereafter that the United States government began the serious undertaking known as the "The Manhattan Project." The Americans created the Manhattan Project and expanded the research needed to produce a viable atomic bomb. The gravity of the situation of the atomic bomb is so huge, no one really knows how this power will ever be contained (The Manhattan project”). How will this planet ever be safe, as long as we have nuclear bombs that can destroy whole nations, with a single switch of a

Their media reports shows it will be in a more heavily populated area. This could happen to neighboring nuclear countries and kill over ten million or more people and start an all-out world war. The most likely target is in the Western civilization, at least which is what the news keeps saying every night. Who really knows? In November 1954, five months before his death, Einstein summarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: "I made one great mistake in my life... when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification - the danger that the Germans would make them" ("ALBERT EINSTEIN."). The definition of an atom, is the smallest particle of a substance that can exist by itself or be combined with other atoms to form a molecule ("Atom”). How ironic this definition really is because for something being so small it can do major damage to
