Albert Einstein's Creation And Usage Of Atomic Weapons

Albert Einstein was born in Württemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879, to Herman and Poline Einstein. He was born a Jew in Germany which might have posed very large problems for this genius in future years if his family did not move so often. When he was twelve he received a book of geometry which fascinated him, with the geometry book and the compass he was inspired to learn more about the world and what it had to offer. He became interested in physics when his father showed him a small compass. He was fascinated by the force could move the needle. Another influence on him was a man named Max Talmey who was a young medical student. He came to eat with the Einsteins from time to time and he taught young Albert philosophy and some advanced math.

Once Einstein found out about the usage of the bomb and how much destruction it caused, and the huge role his formula played in this destruction, he was horrified. He partnered with Bertrand Russell to write the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. It was a paper that attempts to confront scientists on the creation and usage of atomic weapons. The first sentences read, “In the tragic situation that confronts humanity, we feel that scientists should assemble in conference to appraise the perils that have arisen as a result of the development of weapons of mass destruction, and to discuss a resolution in the spirit of the appended draft.” “We invite this Congress, and through it the scientists of the world and the general public, to subscribe to the following

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and that the speed of light in a vacuum has nothing to do with the motion of the observers. He called this the theory of special relativity. He was hoping to add acceleration to this theory and spent a total of ten years trying. He finally published his theory of general relativity in 1915. He determined that large objects cause a distortion in space-time. The distortion is gravity. Einstein’s theory is mostly focussing on black holes but people still use it very frequently in their everyday lives. GPS technology is one example of this usage of Einstein’s theory. General relativity shows that the rate that time flows changes depending on how close a person or an object is to a big body. This big body in the case of the GPS is the earth. This idea is extremely important to GPS because it has to take in the fact that time is at a very different rate for satellites than it is for people that are on the
