Einstein never took part in the Manhattan Project and he was even barred from consulting with the physicists picked by Los Alamos Laboratory director J. Robert Oppenheimer
The reason is that US officials believed his left-wing political views posed a security threat. In July 1940, they denied him the security clearance required to work on the project.
i mean he died in '55. he was at los alamos.
Nope. Sure wasn’t.
well, shows the quality of my research i guess. he did however help kick off the manhattan project by recommending the bomb be built to the president.
Yeah, he was all "dude! We should totes do this thing before those Nazi weirdos do so!“* and probably regretted it ever since it was first used.
*might not be his exact words
