the atomic bomb was made to end the world war 2
The Atomic Bomb (or A-Bomb as it is sometimes known) was developed by a team of researchers working for the Manhattan Project. Members of this team included Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer, as well as its military supervisor, General Leslie Groves. Albert Einstein also contributed to the project, having laid out the basic concept for the bomb in a letter to President Roosevelt.
The US Army's Manhattan Project under the military leadership of General Leslie Groves and the scientific directorship of Robert Oppenheimer (the two men in the image above). The project spent two billion dollars, mostly on building factories and other atomic infrastructure, and employed more than 130,000 people at sites scattered across the US.It is a common misconception that Albert Einstein was part of the Manhattan Project. As a pacifist he refused to perform any war related work and the US Army security would never have granted him the necessary security clearances (they refused to grant Robert Oppenheimer these clearances and it took a direct order from General Groves to override this and get Oppenheimer cleared as Groves believed he was the only scientist that Groves could communicate with about the issues needed to make the project succeed).The only participation Einstein had was to sign a letter on August 2, 1939 previously written by Leo Szilard (who invented the atomic bomb in 1933 while in London, patent GB630726) addressed to president Franklin Roosevelt. After the letter was sent he knew nothing of whether the US was even studying it or not until he saw the August 6, 1945 newspaper headlines about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima that morning.
Hitler, he wanted to bomb the Whales. In my case, FrankieThe above is a lie:The Americans developed the first Atomic bomb You should WIKI it as it is a very interesting story.
The soviet Union started its program after learning of America's efforts to make the atomic bomb. it was tested on August 29th 1949. The test is known to American's as Joe 1
He was attempting to do just that- make an atomic bomb.
The atomic bomb was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer at the Manhattan Project during World War II. Oppenheimer is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his leadership in the project.
During WWII, It was dropped in Hiroshima.
Robert Oppenheimer is often considered the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role as the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the development of the first nuclear weapons used in World War II: the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Oppenheimer did not personally make the nuclear weapons but played a critical role in their development.
The bomb was not made in 1939. It was made in 1945 at the end of WW2. Oppenheimer did not make the bomb, a very large group of scientists and technicians made the bomb. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the group. That is analogous to saying that a single person invented the rocket that took men to the moon.
Albert Einstein did not directly work on making the atomic bomb. He did write a letter to President Roosevelt in 1939 warning of the potential of nuclear weapons, which led to the start of the Manhattan Project. However, it was scientists like J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi who led the research and development efforts to create the atomic bomb.
The atom bomb research and development were conducted under the Manhattan project.
The atom bomb was invented by the brilliant research of a group of scientists in 1945, working on what was known as "The Manhattan Project". The lead scientist was J. Robert Oppenheimer.
No, he was a pacifist and worked on no war projects. His only involvement with the atomic bomb was to sign a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written, warning that the Nazis might make one first.The atomic bomb was not invented in the US, it was invented in London, England in 1933 by Leo Szilard while crossing a street and patented by him in 1934. However it took 12 more years, many scientists & engineers & technicians, and an enormous investment in new industrial infrastructure before the first atomic bombs could be built.
Albert Einstein did not make the nuclear bomb. Oppenheimer did.
J. Robert Oppenheimer made a significant contribution to nuclear physics by leading the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. Some of his notable quotes related to nuclear technology include "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" and "The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable."
