no, but they were involved as couriers to leak information on the bomb to the USSR.
I suggest reading Richard Rhodes book: The Making of the Atomic Bomb.
yes
In July 1939 Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt informing him of German atomic research and the potential for a bomb. This letter prompted Roosevelt to form a special committee to investigate the military implications of atomic research. This committee worked under the name 'The Manhatten Project' and the chief scientist involved in developing the first atomic bomb was Robert Oppenheimer.
Yes
No single person can be credited with developing the atomic bomb. Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein were among the well-known people.
yes
The race to the Atomic bomb can be relevant to Macbeth in terms of the moral and ethical implications of scientific advancements. Just as Macbeth faced moral dilemmas in his quest for power, the scientists involved in developing the atomic bomb grappled with the consequences of their actions. Both scenarios raise questions about the responsible use of power and the impact of unchecked ambition.
They were studying and developing it JUST LIKE the USA
Albert Einstein
There are many different elements involved in the construction of an atomic bomb, but the elements that actually cause an atomic explosion are either uranium (specifically the U235 isotope) or plutonium.
By 1953, the United States and the Soviet Union had developed both the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb, or H-bomb. So now that that has happened the United States wanted to have more interests in developing a hydrogen bomb and that's how it intensified.
