How Did the First Atomic Bomb Explode?
Before the beginning of the Second World War, the Hungarian physicist Szilard visited Albert Einstein, who had taken refuge in the US, to communicate him his concern over the possibility that Hitler would try to build the atomic bomb. That’s why he asked him to convince the US president Roosevelt about the benefit of going before the Nazis. On November 1st, 1939, Roosevelt created the Uranium Consulting Committee, charged with building the bomb. Starting with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, in 1941, US invested great resources for the research in the well-known Manhattan Project.
