Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Plus he killed a couple hundred thousand people in the forties... Scott Ummmm...yeah....I think you've got the wrong guy. Not at all. Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki (an alternate target point, BTW)? Scott Einstein warned of the possibility of the Germans developing an A-Bomb, but he didn't invent it. He simply knew that with enough research, the energy was there to be unleashed in the form of a bomb. [b]"A massive enrichment laboratory/plant was constructed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Harold C. Urey and his colleagues at Columbia University devised an extraction system that worked on the principle of gaseous diffusion, and Ernest O. Lawrence (inventor of the Cyclotron) at the University of California in Berkeley implemented a process involving magnetic separation of the two isotopes. Next, a gas centrifuge was used to further separate the lighter U-235 from the heavier, non-fissionable U-238. Once all of these procedures had been completed, all that needed to be done was to put to the test the entire concept behind atomic fission ("splitting the atom," in layman's terms). Over the course of six years, from 1939 to 1945, more than $2 billion was spent on the Manhattan Project. The formulas for refining uranium and putting together a working bomb were created and seen to their logical ends by some of the greatest minds of our time. [u]Chief among the people who unleashed the power of the atom was J. Robert Oppenheimer, who oversaw the project from conception to completion[/u]."[/b] |

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, Einstein signed a letter convincing the President(or whoever made the decision) that the Manhattan Project was necessary. Essentially stated that we better develop the bomb before they do.
I don't believe that he had any further involvememt. As far as inventors that should be stoned? I'd say that the inventor of the water pipe (or bong) should be pretty stoned right now (if he weren't dead anyway...)[:)] |

On the other hand, what if Japan had an insider? Would they have capitulated if they knew that at the time of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks that we had "shot our load"? I have read somewhere that at the time, we used up all of the available weapons-grade fissionable material in the Trinity test and the two A-bomb attacks. We (IIRC) did not have [b]ANY[/b] nuclear weaposn available for like a couple of years after the war....

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Plus he killed a couple hundred thousand people in the forties... Scott Ummmm...yeah....I think you've got the wrong guy. Not at all. Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki (an alternate target point, BTW)? Scott Bizarre. Russell-Einstein Manifesto? Letter to Roosevelt: ". . . We helped in creating this new weapon in order to prevent the enemies of mankind from achieving it ahead of us. Which, given the mentality of the Nazis, would have meant inconceivable destruction, and the enslavement of the rest of the world..." -AE "Since I do not foresee that atomic energy is to be a great boon for a long time, I have to say that for the present it is a menace. Perhaps it is well that it should be. It may intimidate the human race into bringing order into it's international affairs, which without the pressure of fear, it would not do." -AE With reference to your "theory of relativity" remark: "If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew." Some other quotes: "Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire. This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world. We scientists recognise our inescapable responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope - we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death." "The only justifiable purpose of political institutions is to insure the unhindered development of the individual." "You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." |

I got nothing against the dude, other than I think his TOR has had a negative impact on our efforts to explore the universe around us. ("What is the point of exploring our solar system? We will never go any further. Einstein said so.") We should have a thriving lunar colony by now, and should have had at least a few manned trips to Mars. The next three best windows for Mars are (IIRC) sometime this decade, then in 2018 and 2020.) I have no idea why there is such a space, then two that close together...
BTW, when the FTL breakthrough comes, people are going to be amazed. I need to consult my references for his name, but the pioneer I expect to open up the universe for us is a Brazilian scientist... Stand by and remember you heard me say it first... Scott |

Wozniak & Jobs - for a system that took entirely too damn long to get "open architecture" and stayed a toy computer for so long... Whoever does the design work at Compaq. The single biggest pain in my ass when it comes to support... Whoever invented the "coffee can" exhaust tip. Windscreen Washer Nozzle Lites. Need I say more?
