Albert Einstein Nuclear Rejection Research Paper
Albert Einstein: The Nuclear Rejection Albert Einstein once said, “ I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out with the atom bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.”. From this quote, he wanted everyone, anywhere around the world to not use nuclear weapons. He wanted his famous formula e=mc^2 to bring good for everyone around the world. Soon after knowing that making nuclear weapons is possible by using his formula, Albert started writing letters to president Roosevelt to stop the construction of nuclear weapons. After sending his last letter, it didn’t reach to president Roosevelt before his death on April 12th, 1945. Albert has tried to convince Roosevelt by writing letters to him to prevent the use

This made Albert and the other scientist not able to get through using letters. Many scientist including Albert tried to send letters to prevent the use of the atom bomb. Unfortunately, Truman ignored the letters which brought the drop of the A-bomb in Hiroshima killing over 100,000 civilians and thousands die later because of the radiations on August 6, 1945. After hearing the news, Albert started crying in agony which shows he had the biggest regret on finding the potential of the nuclear weapons. Here what Albert said right before the drop of the atom bomb on Hiroshima, “we have learned, and paid an awful price to learn, that living and working together can be done in one way only - under law. Unless it prevails, and unless by common struggle we are capable of new ways of thinking, mankind is doomed.” (Secondary Source 2). This concludes that Albert Einstein had tried to resist the production of the nuclear weapons and cried in tears after hearing the news about the drop of the bomb on Hiroshima. After many attempts of writing the letter about the danger of the weapon, he was not successful. However, he did try to prevent the use of nuclear weapons and this is what taking stand against nuclear weapons means. Albert Einstein with the help of Dr. Szilard shown many ironic tries and attempts by proving that it is dangerous to drop the
