"If I had foreseen Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I would have torn up my
formula in 1905." - Albert Einstein
"Perhaps it will prove possible to test this theory using bodies whose energy content is variable to a high degree (e.g., salts of radium). -- Albert Einstein (1905)

The Atomic Bomb
"That weapon has a direct link to Einstein's three-page paper. In a nuclear fission reaction,
an atomic nucleus splits, resulting in a reduced overall mass of matter, which is emitted in the form of released energy."
fast forward to year 1939
"...it may become possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction
in a large mass of uranium, by which vast amounts of power and large quant-
ities of new Radium-like elements would be generated. Now it appears
almost certain that this could be achieved in the immediate future.
This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs,
and it is conceivable - though much less certain - that extremely power-
ful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed." -Albert Einstein
