A> Einstein did NOT write the theory of relativity SPECIFICALLY to create the   
A> "bomb". And that is what I said. :)

G> No, but it was him who realized it's potential, not the Government.          
A> Actually, the President's Advisory Committee understood damned well what the 
A> bomb could do.                                                               
                                                                                
Um, Einstein wrote his Special Theory of Relativity, and THEN he told the       
government the implications of his formula 'E=mc'  Sorry, but the               
President's Advisory Commitee is NOT composed of theoretical physicists.        
Without Einstein's knowledge, the bomb would NEVER (well, not until later)      
have been created.                                                              
                                                                                
                                            Yours Truly
