He signed a letter that Leo Szilard wrote to FDR. That is all.
Leo Szlard(sp?) wrote a letter to encourage FDR to have the US government start a project of atomic chain reactions. Einstein signed the letter to give more importance to it.
He didn't. All he had to do with the atomic bomb was signing a letter written by Leo Szilard that was sent to FDR.
Einstein's only participation was to sign a letter written by Leo Szilard (using Einstein's name) warning FDR that Nazi Germany probably already had a project to build atomic bombs (which they did at the time) and warning of the consequences if they did first and requesting that FDR begin a project trying to make one first.When FDR received this letter he authorized a preliminary study of the issue and budgeted $6000 to it.
None, Einstein had no part in either inventing or making atomic bombs except to sign a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written. Leo Szilard is the inventor of both the atomic bomb and reactor.
About the time Leo Szilard told him about it and had Einstein sign the letter Szilard had written to FDR.
FDR. However Einstein did not write the letter to FDR he only signed it, Leo Szilard wrote it putting Einstein's name on it as FDR was more likely to respond to it that way, then Szilard convinced Einstein to sign it. The words were Szilard's only the signature was Einstein's.
Albert Einstein
Hitler never had an atomic bombLeo Szilard wrote a letter to FDR about his concern that Germany might build one and Hitler would use itSzilard wrote the final draft of this letter with Einstein's name on it and had Einstein sign it as Einstein was better known than he wasSzilard and Einstein arranged to have a banker friend of FDR hand carry the letter to FDR, they did not talk to FDR personally
He signed a letter that Leo Szilard wrote to FDR. That is all.

No one, as there is no chemical formula for nuclear explosives, they are nuclear not chemical in operation.Leo Szilard wrote a letter to warn FDR that Germany might be working on atomic bombs and that the US should begin a project to study their feasibility. Szilard prepared the letter as if Albert Einstein had written it, then had Einstein sign it, as Einstein was better known and it seemed a letter that appeared to be from him was more likely to convince FDR. However this letter told FDR nothing about how atomic bombs could be built, except that it related to new discoveries about the properties of the metal uranium resulting from recent experiments performed in Germany.
Signed a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written. That is the one and only thing Einstein did related to the fission bomb project.
