"The United States has only very poor ores of uranium in moderate

quantities. There is some good ore in Canada and the former Czechoslovakia.

while the most important source of uranium is Belgian Congo." --Albert Einstein August 2nd 1939


'the price of radium in the 1920s was $100,000 a gram' 


How much is a $100,000 in today's money? about $1,528,455 



In other words, albert einstien's friends came to his house to complain that
his experiment requires...TONs of uranium. 

That would cost around ONE TRILLION DOLLARS.




"Enrico Fermi was intensively involved with Einstein's theory of relativity and traced the hidden power of atomic nuclei.
In 1923, he wrote that it would probably not be possible to release this energy in the near future, "because
the first effect would be an explosion so terrible that it would tear the physicist who tried it to pieces". "



Anybody here..intensively involved with Einstein's theory of relativity, (besides me) ...i don't think so.???


I'm the only smartest guy in the room.
