Book excerpt: The discovery of the atomic bomb is one of the most influential technological breakthroughs in human history. However, political and military involvement played a role in the development of nuclear weapons, including the atomic bomb. This raises the question of who should be held responsible for the discovery of the atomic bomb. Several scientists worldwide collaborated in the project to develop nuclear weapons during World War II. One prominent scientist involved was Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist and one of the main leaders in the Manhattan Project, a secret U.S. project aimed at developing the atomic bomb. Albert Einstein, on the other hand, made significant theoretical contributions to modern physics, including understanding the concept of mass-energy equivalence that became the basis for building the atomic bomb. However, Einstein himself was not actively involved in the development or production of the atomic bomb. Meanwhile, the decision to use the atomic bomb as a weapon was made by the United States, then led by President Harry S. Truman. Truman was the one who approved the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as part of their efforts to end World War II. This decision was based more on political and military considerations, including the desire to quickly end the war and avoid a potential ground invasion that could have resulted in even more casualties. Thus, it is essential to realize that the discovery of the atomic bomb involved various interconnected elements, including the contributions of scientists like Einstein and Oppenheimer, as well as political and military decisions that ultimately determined the use of the atomic bomb as a weapon of war. This history teaches us to always think wisely when dealing with technologies that can have significant impacts on humanity, and the importance of maintaining world peace and security. The question of who is responsible for the discovery of the atomic bomb? This book will reveal the truth about who is truly at fault between these two close friends. Not many know their story, so it’s unfortunate if you miss the facts presented in this book if you want to know the real truth about who is to blame among these two scientists.
