As a matter of historical interest,
the first SF story which features large amount of 'atomic energy'
being released seems to be by H.G. Wells. (1914)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Set_Free>

Eddington (1920) already proposed that the energy release of stars
might be from nuclear reactions at high temperatures inside.

As the 1920-ies progressed the curve of binding energy/nucleon
became available through precision mass spectrometry,
showing that Iron and Nickel were the most tightly bound elements,
and that there huge amounts of bound nuclear energy
in every bit of ordinary matter, [1]

Jan

[1] In other words, E=mc^2 was already 'unproblematic background
knowlwdge' among scientists, more than a hundred years ago.

Sure, I forgot Lise Meitner. Sorry.

But there had certainly been numerous others, who contributed something.

Thanks!

I have never seen that paper before.

You have the right to draw your own conclusions:

Albert Einstein was very upset that they were arresting 'all his
friends'.


I mean, Albert Einstein 'hand picked' every single one of them.

Albert Einstein first started to pick scientists who were all members of
a communist society group.

Then he made sure those 12 scientist hand picked other communists
scientists, and so on and so on.


Albert Einstein WAS the Master Spy.


Albert Einstein transfered *thousands* of atomic secrets to Russia.


More than anyone else.


The FBI simply wasn't that smart then...


This is all they had on him...

Albert Einstein arrested as a political subversive or even a Soviet spy.
