Am I really wrong?

Yes

Who predicted the (destructive) energy of fission? Who was the person that warned the allies and pushed them to start the Manhattan project?

Leó Szilárd
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le%C3%B3_Szil%C3%A1rd
" He conceived the nuclear chain reaction in 1933, patented the idea of a nuclear reactor with Enrico Fermi, and in late 1939 wrote the letter for Albert Einstein's signature that resulted in the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb. "

Who was it that created the physics used to create the nuke and who gave it the signature?

Ernest Rutherford aka "Father of Nuclear Physics"

I recommend you learn about Henri Becquerel, J. J. Thomason, Atto Hahn, James Chadwick an Marie Curie. Once you have gained this foundation, please proceed on to Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. From there James Chadwick, Walther Bothe, Herbert L. Becker, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie would be good to add to your knowledge base. Beyond them, you should learn about Alexandru Proca and Hideki Yukawa.

He might not have been there with a monkey wrench but without Albert Einstein there would have been no Nuke to stop WW2. Everyone else is unimportant in that they could be replaced with someone else without much difference to the end result. If you want to dispute this go ahead, dig your hole deeper and deeper.

It is good to know that you believe it was all Einstein, all the time. That belief does not make it so.

The fact of the matter is "Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the project to develop atomic bombs, because General Leslie Groves considered him to be a security risk because of his pacifist leanings, so he was assigned to work on improving conventional artillery for the U.S. Navy. Einstein had no knowledge of the atomic bomb's manufacturing, and no influence on the decision for the bomb to be dropped.[2]"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Szil%C3%A1rd_letter#cite_note-2

The real irony here is I can refute each of your statements will simple searches of _wikipedia_. Are you sure you are not a graduate of the US education system? Your knowledge level is on par with some of the dumbacrats that get liberal art "degrees" from various US colleges.

So what you actually mean is Leó Szilárd who is a collaborator with none other then Albert Einstein? Also there is a huge difference between a nuclear chain reaction and a bomb so I have no idea why you are even trying to drag that into our conversation.

Its astounding how you attribute parts of the development of the nuke to people dead long before it even began and who even did not contribute more then a basic understanding of nuclear layout. Yet you completely dismiss Albert Einstein which has clear links both in theories and even connections to the project and people working with it. Its like you have a double standard but that cant be true (/sarcasm). Ernest Rutherford never did anything complicated enough to be of direct help to the manhattan project anyway so its about as valid as giving the credit to Aristotle. Just because he holds a title does not mean that everything done afterwards needs to be credited to him you know.

*sighs* Anyway you have yet to even grasp the simplest part of my answer and I am getting quite tired of your quite frankly pathetic display of "intellectual superiority".
