Albert Einstein and the Atomic Bomb.

I don't think Einstien ever played a part in creation of atomic bomb just because he wrote a letter to Roosevelt, for almost a century now he is beiong criticised for what he never wanted to do or never wanted anyone else to do. Please read this article to clear your doubts and stop blaming an innocent great man. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/time/think.html this is from the site "chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman found that when bombarded with neutrons, uranium split into two nuclei of roughly half the size. Not only that, but further calculations showed that a large amount of energy was also released - enough from a single nucleus to move a grain of sand. The first stage of Szilard's chain reaction had been achieved. " "During the course of their conversations in the summer of 1939, Szilard explained these new developments to Einstein and his fear that the Nazis might use them to create a nuclear bomb. Together they drafted a letter, signed by Einstein, to the American President, Franklin Roosevelt. The letter was delivered to the President on the 11 October 1939 and after reading it the President provided funding for research that would pave the way for the Manhattan Project and lead, ultimately to the construction of the first atomic bomb. After signing the letter, Einstein played no further part in the development of the bomb.

That is the irony of this life. We think we should not have taken birth. We think we should not have done it,after doing something with out proper thought. Like that Albert realised the consequences of his research, at a later time in his life. Many times on this Earth, the life is destroyed and rebith of the life has taken place, according to philosophies of various religions.Hence it is not surprising if the cycle repeats. Think of Japan, which has this experience.
