Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 He died on April 18, 1955 when he was only 76 He died on April 18, 1955 when he was only 76 He died of aortic aneurysm which is a general for any swelling of the aorta He died of aortic aneurysm which is a general for any swelling of the aorta He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”. Information on Albert Einstein

3. More Information on Albert Einstein Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole.[4] Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field.

4. Months before the bomb would be available, key War Department advisers, among others, worried about the political and military problems and possibilities raised by the project—the possibility of enormously powerful hydrogen bombs, enormous military potential, the limits of secrecy, the danger of a global arms race, and the need for international exchange of information and international inspection to stem dangerous nuclear competition. Martin Sherwin and James Hershberg see this memorandum flowing from Bush and Conant’s concern about President Roosevelt's "cavalier" belief that it would be possible to maintain an Anglo-American atomic monopoly after World War II. To disabuse senior officials that such a monopoly was possible, they drafted this memorandum. About the Atomic bomb

5. The force of B-29 nuclear delivery vehicles that was being readied for first nuclear use—the Army Air Force’s 509 th Composite Group— required an operational base in the Western Pacific. In late February 1945, months before atomic bombs were ready for use, the high command selected Tinian, an island in the Northern Marianas Islands. More about the Atomic bomb

7.  No, United States, with the assistance of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers from the U.S., Britain, Canada and Germany (former Nazi physicists)  He has been referred to as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb,' mostly from his famous equation: E=mc2. But this is an appropriate association because, in reality, Albert Einstein was a pacifist, and was not part of the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bomb.  People think of him as being associated with the atomic bomb because his famous equation E=MC2 predicted that a huge amount of energy would be released if matter were converted into energy. In a paper he wrote, he mentioned that this could be explored by studying radioactive elements. Is Einstein really the inventor of the atomic bomb? ?
