Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 2634071, member: 7548"] Here I go again. :rolleyes: Well, Einstein did work out the famous Energy Equivalence Principle E=mc^2 and knew the general implications of mass to energy conversion such as radioactivity and the fusion processes which power the sun but he really did not think it feasible in the pre-world war 2 days that atomic weapons were technically feasible. He was a true pacifist and was not involved in War work except as an introduction to the US Government to accept the possibility and to assist in creating a coherent research program for atomic weapons in light of the potential Nazi threat that they would develop atomic weapons first. The true wizards of Atomic Fission Weapons were Neils Bohr and Enrico Fermi with a strong technological assist from the Los Alamos effort led by Oppenheimer while the father of Nuclear Fusion and the Hydrogen Bombs belongs to Edward Teller.
