So Albert Einstein lied about the speed of light, so what? He was just changing the facts to fit his theory...how else do you have a perfect theory??? So he lied in his letter to Roosevelt that the Germans were building an atomic bomb.. he had to lie to get his hands on the Uranium he needed to build his own atomic bomb. just changing the facts to fit his theory...how else do you get tons of Uranium??? Of course, Roosevelt thought "Why would we want to kill the Germans, they are doing such a good job killing Jewish people!". The President said, "I'm going to send IBM over there to help them." IBM Hollerith computers ...make them Holler...Holler-caust computers.
