Who invented the atom bomb that was dropped on japan?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Over the course of six years, from 1939 to 1945, more than $2 billion was spent during the history of the Manhattan Project. The formulas for refining uranium and putting together a working atomic bomb were created and seen to their logical ends by some of the greatest minds of our time. Chief among the people who unleashed the power of the atom was Robert Oppenheimer, who oversaw the project from conception to completion.

It should be noted that because of the complexities of the atomic bomb -- Mr. Oppenheimer was not singular in the invention but identified as the leader.

Answer 3

Leo Szilard in 1933 in London conceived the basic principle (but no materials were known that could make it work at the time). He was issued a British patent for the invention in 1934, which he signed over to the Admiralty in 1936 to protect it from the Nazis.

However it took the discovery that Uranium-235 was fissile in Germany in 1938 to make Szilard's invention practical. Followed by the efforts of thousands in the US on the Manhattan Project to turn Szilard's invention into a working device.

Answer 4

The first atomic bombs were developed by the US during World War II (1939-1945) under a military program called the Manhattan Project, which included physicists from many parts of Europe and the world, and was directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. --- Albert Einstein's formula E = mc2 suggested the energy that atomic fission would release. But Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was test detonated at Alamogordo, NM. The two other prototype bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6th and August 9th. Physicists who contributed to the development of the bomb included Leo Szilard, Philip Morrison, Hans Bethe, John Van Vleck, Felix Bloch, Emil Konopinski, Robert Serber, Stanley S. Frankel, Eldred C. Nelson, Edward Teller, And Enrico Fermi. The military officer in charge of building atomic weapons was General Leslie Groves. (see related link)

Answer 5

I think I remember. It was Albert Einstein who did. First they tested it in the Mexico Desert and then dropped 2 nukes(atomic bombs), one in Hiroshima, and the other in Nagasaki. Just to tell you a little FunFact, did you know that the Hiroshima bomb's name was "Little Boy" and the one dropped on Nagasaki was called "Fat Man"?

Answer 6

there is really no creator, all of the ally countries came together in Mexico at a top secret lab and discussed how they would use the bombs before making them!
