I would like to draw your attention to a specific man. Albert Einstein. A German and father to Nuclear energy and the Atomic bomb. The Nuclear reactor itself and the components for it was developed all around the world and the first Nuclear power plant was built in Russia. Its clear as day that whatever development America did was not a critical discovery meaning it was going to be rapidly discovered by someone else if America had not gotten to it first. If anything America might have saved a year or two of time and I am being generous here.
I'm not bored enough to deal with the rest of your false statements but I loved the one above.
Perhaps you could detail exactly what role Albert Einstein played in the Manhattan Project?
To make it a little easier for you to answer this question I am providing a link to the wikipedia article. When you are finished reading that, please continue on to the list of sources and references at the bottom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_ProjectDo a word search for Albert and you will find that they got his singature as support to even start the project. Its under the fucking "origins" for crying out loud. Ever heard of E=MC^2? Yeah... He is the father of Fission (manhattan project and beyond) and Fusion (the next generation of nuclear power plants) and the person that bound the world of energy to the world of matter. He is the single most important person in the invention of the Nuke. How more clear do i have to be?
Amazing. All that emotion and yet not any clear understanding of the question much less an accurate answer. ALL that he did was sign a letter, written by someone else.
The Manhattan Project was not done when the ink dried on AE's signature. To credit AE with building the atomic bomb ignores a vast amount of work that was done to move from theory to practice. Perhaps you have heard of the man who provides us this quote:
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. ― Albert Einstein
So which isotope separation scheme did AE develop? Which bomb design did he work on? How many times did he visit Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, or even Alamogordo?
What? The "Father of the Atom Bomb" some dude named J. Robert Oppenheimer??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_OppenheimerWTF dude, how did that happen?
BTW, who is this dude Enrico Fermi? He seems to have gotten his name down for "Father of the nuclear reactor."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_FermiLooks like that second rate education they pass out in US high schools glossed over a few pertinent facts.
