371 Words2 Pages
In “Einstein’s letter to the President”, Albert Einstein is writing to President Franklin D. Roosevelt about the element, uranium. He talks about the scientific and political situation of uranium. At this point in time, Germany has just taken over the Czechoslovakian mines, which has a plentiful number of uranium deposits. In this year, 1939, Germany is preparing for war, and them gaining a number of uranium could mean they can make new weapons and energy. Albert Einstein was a brilliant scientist and physicist. Through the work of two of his fellow physicists, he discovered “It may be possible to set a nuclear chain reaction in a large mass of uranium.” This shows that uranium could be used as a new source of energy but also as a new weapon.
