How did Albert Einstein affect the world?
Albert Einstein affected the world because he made the Einstein refrigerator, the theory of relativity, the equation e=mc2, wormholes, photoelectric effect, etc. Though some believe Einstein invented the atomic bomb, he did not, although he did write to the president of the United States warning of the dangers of such a device. It was physicists like Richard Feynman that worked on the Manhattan project that lead to the creation of the atom bomb.
What impact did Albert Einstein have on World War 2?
He wrote a letter to President Roosevelt telling him that he and other scientists were trying to purify U-235 for Nazi Germany. It could be then used to create an atomic bomb. Then the US Government put the Manhattan Project in action, to research and produce an atomic bomb.
Did Albert Einstein become influenced by World War 2?
It was the other way around. Albert Einstein and another physicist influenced World War 2 when he wrote a letter to President Roosevelt telling him that the Germans were starting on an atom bomb. He suggested the US get an atom bomb made to stop the German Nazis. Roosevelt and his committee chose to follow Einstein's advice and the Manhattan Project was created as well as three atom bombs. However, Einstein disliked the thought of nuclear bombs being made and used. He knew the devastation it would cause. He also was leary of Humans using nuclear physics to create anything.
What was the name given to the project to develop the atomic bomb?
The military project to develop the US atomic bomb was the Manhattan Project. It included the first successful fission chain reaction in December, 1942, and culminated in the first atomic test explosion at Alamagordo, NM on July 16, 1945. Two bombs built under the project were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What best describes the result of the letter above from Albert Einstein to Franklin D. Roosevelt as it relates to World War 2?
the establishment of a project in Los Alamos to develop the first atomic bomb
A related topic to Albert Einstein?
The Manhattan Project
Why did US begin the Manhattan project?
I think it started by a letter of concern from Albert Einstein to President Franklin Roosevelt.
What did Albert Einstein do after he helped to build the atomic bomb?
Albert Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the US efforts to develop the atomic bomb. He was denied sufficient security clearance to do so. He did however write a letter to President Roosevelt, composed by his friend Leo Szilard, who did work on the project. Einstein was a teacher.
What US government project developed with the help of Albert Einstein to develop the first atomic bomb?
The Manhattan Project-
Who was responsible for making the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima?
Albert Einstein was a major contributer along with other in an operation called the Manhattan Project
Was Einstein present at Trinity test site in Alamogordo?
No, Einstein had no involvement in the Manhattan Project (or any other war related work as he was a pacifist).
Who worked on the Manhattan project?
Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, and J. Robert Oppenheimer
Einstein and the atom bomb and the Manhattan project?
Do you have a question? Entire books have been written on each of these subjects.
How was Einstein persuaded to approve the Manhattan project?
There is nothing correct about the question...Einstein was entirely excluded from that project and spent the entire time at a think tank at Princeton. Thosee in charge of it were his academic and professional rivals.
Is there a code name for the Manhattan project?
The Manhattan Project IS the codename. So no, there is not.
What did Albert Einstein do on the Manhattan project?
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.
Why was Albert Einstein famous for the atomic bomb?
Albert Einstein was not directly connected with the development of the atomic bomb. He was a very famous scientist whose name would get the attention of even the highest government officials. He used that fame to ensure that a letter from Fermi about the possibility of an atomic bomb would reach President Roosevelt and would be viewed as a credible letter. This eventually resulted in the creation of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb. Aside from that initial introductory letter, Einstein had no connection with the Manhattan Project.
