Teller immigrated to the United States in the 1930s‚ and was an early member of the Manhattan Project charged with developing the first atomic bombs. The Manhattan project was held at the fledgling Los Alamos National Laboratory and Teller eventually became the assistant director for the project.

physicist Albert Einstein sent a letter to U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt that described this discovery and warned of its potential development by other nations. The U.S. government established the top secret Manhattan Project in 1942 to develop an atomic device. The leader of the Manhattan Project was U.S. Army Brigadier General Leslie R. Groves. His team‚ working in several locations but in large part at Los Alamos‚ New Mexico‚ under the direction of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer‚ designed

Albert Einstein: The Nuclear Rejection Albert Einstein once said‚ “ I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out with the atom bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.”. From this quote‚ he wanted everyone‚ anywhere around the world to not use nuclear weapons. He wanted his famous formula e=mc^2 to bring good for everyone around the world.

During the final stage of World War II‚ the United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9‚ 1945‚ respectively.
