What inspired Albert Einstine to invent the atomic bomb?

he was adicted in atoms Albert Einstein did not invent the atomic bomb. It was invented by Leo Szilard.


Who was the inventor listed on British patent 630726 - sometimes called the atomic bomb patent?

Leo Szilard.


What was Albert Einstine's role in the creation of the first atomic bomb?

Nothing. His only connection to the atomic bomb was to sign a letter written by Leo Szilard (the inventor of the atomic bomb, though Einstein did not know this then) that warned FDRthat Nazi Germany might do it first.


Who is credited with creating the atomic bomb?

Leo Szilard invented the atomic bomb in 1933, but no one person can be credited with creating it. Remember the US spent $2,000,000,000 on constructing and operating the huge industrial infrastructure needed to build them before a single bomb could be built!


Why did the inventor of atomic bomb build an atomic bomb and why?

Leo Szilard, the inventor of the atomic bomb (patent GB630726), did not build it himself. He wrote a letter that he had Albert Einstein sign and send to president FDR warning of the potential of atomic bombs and that the Nazis were probably working on them already. If the Nazis got atomic bombs first the Allied cause was lost. FDR authorized funds for a study, the study recommended a full program be begun under direction of the Army. This program became the Manhattan Project, which built the bomb. Leo Szilard was one of hundreds of scientists employed by the Manhattan Project during WW2.

What did Leo Szilard need to do in order to invent the atomic bomb?

As he did not have to build the atomic bomb, all that he had to do to invent the atomic bomb was to think.That is really all that is required for most inventions: think of a new and novel way to do something.What Leo Szilard invented that was new and novel was the neutron chain reaction, the process that in the atomic bomb drives the exponentially accelerating nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. However he did not know about either nuclear fission or what elements might be able to support the neutron chain reaction process that he invented. This took the work of others before the atomic bomb could actually be built.

The atomic bomb was actually developed by a team of scientists, including J. Robert Oppenheimer, as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II.


When did albert Einstein have the idea of the atomic bomb?

About the time Leo Szilard told him about it and had Einstein sign the letter Szilard had written to FDR.
