The Atomic bomb had more power than 20‚000 tonnes of TNT

What I find most admirable about Albert Einstein is the way he thought up his theories and had the ability to conduct experiments on them. By doing this‚ he answered many questions of the scientific realm of the world. Some of the traits I admire are: 1. A trait I admire is his curiosity because he always wanted to find out how things worked. When he was five years old his father gave him a compass. It was a mystery to him. He wanted to know why the arrow always pointed north. His father

nuclear power and destruction. All the military powers had held investigations and Germany came very close to developing this capacity. The USA through the top secret ‘Manhattan Project’ developed this weapon and it was so secret that when President Roosevelt died in office his successor (Harry Truman) only became aware of the project then. Then arose the problem of the Soviet Union entering the war against Japan on the 8th of August 1995 [5]‚ the Soviets were quickly becoming a super power. The alliance

Klaus Fuchs The race to develop the atomic bomb had begun around the 1940’s. World War II was still taking place‚ and its creation would change the game of war forever. Whoever could create it first would have the power to threaten to destroy entire regions and roll over their enemies. The information that was found during research was vital‚ and worth so much. Spies at the time were playing a very dangerous game because of the seriousness of the information they were giving away. A few were arrested
