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_Project

Do 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_Oppenheimer

WTF 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."

Looks like that second rate education they pass out in US high schools glossed over a few pertinent facts.

I kind of find it insulting that you think I am from America. I wonder if that is wrong of me?

Speaking of which you mentioned something about not understanding the question. Did it ever strike your mind that perhaps you did not understand my answer?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. If all he had to do was sign a letter why did it have to be Albert Einstein? It was not the act of signing the letter which was important but his signing that it was possible.

You asked me what role he played. He was the one that gave them the idea and showed them how. You mentioned something about the large amount of work involved in developing the nuke and its true... Allot of GRUNT work. What they did was nothing really spectacular just something that had to be done at some point or another. You cant pretend that it required a genius to work from where Albert Einstein and those who came after him had left off.

You know what else? Albert Einstine was even the guy that warned the allies that Germany might develop a nuke and suggested that they would start a similar program.. Which became the manhattan project. Good job on making yourself out to be a fool.

I see.
You are shown to be wrong on your "father of the nuke" claim with references to the two men who _are_ the father of the atom bomb and nuclear reactor respectively.
You are provided a quote by Albert Einstein which demonstrates HIS understanding of the great effort needed to move from theory to practice, yet you profess it was simply some mechanics playing with monkey wrenches.
You seem to be convinced that if you stand there and claim you are right, it will become true.

Do you wonder why I think you are a product of a US high school?

I figured anyone that ignorant of facts had to be a victim of the US education system since we have been informed in the very thread that everything evil, bad and wrong comes from the US. Now you are going to tell me there is a place worse than the US? That won't be well received around here.
