His theories on relativity laid the framework for a new branch of physics, and Einstein's E = mc² on mass-energy equivalence was one of the most famous formulas in the world. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and the evolution of Quantum Theory. I chose him because when Einstein found out that Germany was working on the creation of a bomb, he alerted President Roosevelt. It was that alert that pushed the U.S. to work to develop the atomic bomb through the Manhattan Project. Later than, he spoke out against the use of nuclear weapons.Einstein argued for vehemently in his later life, as he struggled with the deadly consequences of his scientific creation. He worked to warn the world about the perils of nuclear proliferation for the rest of his life, he struggled to make sense of his responsibility.

It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms.” (from a speech to the New History Society,  
14 December, 1930)


-  “I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.”
(Interview with George Sylvester Viereck, January 1931)


-  “Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.”
(Discussing the letter he sent Roosevelt raising the possibility of atomic weapons. from “Atom: Einstein, the Man Who Started It All,” Newsweek Magazine, 10 March 1947)


-  "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything."

- The same year 1933, Szilárd discovered the nuclear chain reaction, the process that unleashes the energy lacked in atoms to create enormous explosion.

- Szilárd visited Enistein in New York with two fellow refugees, they told him about the possibility of a nuclear chain reaction. Einstein was shocked.

-  On August 2, 1939,  together with the other scientists, Einstein drafted a letter to Roosevelt that warned of what might happen if Nazi scientists beat the United States to an atom bomb.

- On October 21, 1939, the Roosevelt appointed Advisory Committee on Uranium met for the first time. It was the forerunner of the Manhattan Project that eventually invented a working atom bomb.

- Einstein played no direct role in the Manhattan Project .

- On August 6-9, 1945,  two American B-29 bombers dropped the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was estimated roughly 70,000 to 135,000 people died in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people died in Nagasaki.


- On March 10, 1947, Einstein said after the war that “Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.”

- Einstein worked to warn the world about the perils of nuclear proliferation for the rest of his life, he struggled to make sense of his responsibility.

- On July 9, 1955, two of the twentieth century's most famous intellectuals, philosopher Bertrand Russell and physicist Albert Einstein (who died several months before the text was released), issued this Russell–Einstein manifesto in London to warn the world about the dire consequences of a nuclear war.]]> 2020-10-31 14:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mnguye9650/mm11501xthvsnv1i/wish/878672376 mnguye9650 https://padlet.com/mnguye9650/mm11501xthvsnv1i/wish/878766898 I chose this video because this helped explain what going on at that time. But I have a short explanation about him that after he heard that the bombs had killed a lot of people in Japan. From the beginning, he knew that this would be too much of damaged imagination. Einstein argued fiercely in his later life, as he struggled with the deadly consequences of his scientific creation.]]> 2020-10-31 16:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mnguye9650/mm11501xthvsnv1i/wish/878766898 mnguye9650 https://padlet.com/mnguye9650/mm11501xthvsnv1i/wish/878839747 Albert Einstein is most famous for introducing the world to the equation E = mc² .  He wrote a letter to alert President Roosevelt about Germany was working on the creation of a bomb and later United States worked to develop the atomic bomb through the Manhattan Project. This project was a huge mistake in his life because he sent that letter to the President, and the important thing was that his invention was an important formula in the making of the atomic bomb. Einstein sought peace that he tried for the rest of his life to help people understand the consequences of using the atomic bomb, he argued fiercely in his life, as he struggled with the deadly consequences of his scientific creation. I think his quest was successful while he was alive because he signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, which was introduced in London to warn the world of the fire consequences of a nuclear war on July 9, 1955. There has been no documented case of nuclear weapons ever since then so I think he succeeded.]]> 2020-10-31 17:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mnguye9650/mm11501xthvsnv1i/wish/878839747
