intentionally generated high-speed nuclear reaction. In the history of warfare‚ two nuclear weapons have been detonated—both by the United States in World War II. The first event occurred on the morning of 6 August 1945‚ when the United States dropped a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The second event occurred three days later when‚ again‚ the United States dropped a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" on the city of Nagasaki.

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
