[Citadel650]

the manhattan project

yes

 

[ziadel]

yeah, those were some smart dudes...
Einstein prolly gets my vote now that I think about it..

 

[excessa]

Mahatma Ghandi. He stood up to the entire British Army with a handful of salt, and rallied and unarmed and subjugated nation behind him.

yeah, I'll agree with the guys that built the bomb. Einstein is the man. I just wish he had put it all to better use, but I guess he got roped into thinking he would save humanity by making a bomb.

Einstein did NOT want a bomb...
From what I have read, and seen on TV, he was very sad aboutthat for the remainder of his years...
His intentiuon was cheap energy..

Stephen Hawkin (the guy in the wheelchair)

I don't know that much about him, although I have heard that he is a mental force. Care to elaborate on some of the things he has done??

a lot of his theories have already been disproved tho....I'm not trying to say hes not a genuis, just that hes gotta go back to the drawing board...
I think he came up with the big bang idea...

agreed, I think that we (the US) also roped him into it by telling him the Nazi's were going to come up with it sooner or later, and it would be better for us to have it. Can't really argue with that. I'm just thinking it was a terrible waste of all his work to create a bomb with it.

 

[ziadel]

yeah, it was kinda shitty, saved a lotta US lives tho...

 

[workerant]

Richard Feynman.

 

[Citadel650]

the bomb

couldn't agree with you more and as it was pointed out before the Germans were developing one also and how do you think they would have used it?


Yes, the bomb did kill many lives, but how many more did it save?
Not to mention the political ramifications of using it.

yeah, the Japs would have fought to the last man had we not smacked em down with the nuke...

 

[Citadel650]

the use of the bombs

was more than just for the japs though. It sent a message to the Russians that we had the technology and were not afraid to use it. As scared as America was of Russia during the cold war, they were terrified of us because we had showed earlier that we will nuke your ass.
