How did einstein react to the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki?

In 1926, Albert Einstein and his student Leo Szilard worked on the invention of a new refrigerator that did not rely on electricity or polluting gases. The new refrigerator did not catch on. But the sale of its patent to Swedish giant Electrolux earned Szilard the handsome sum that allowed him to devote his time to academic research in atomic energy and his hobby – reading sci-fi in his Berlin flat. One of those sci-fi novels exposed Szilard to the concept of producing weapons of mass destruction from an exponentially growing chain reaction. The concept roused the talented Jewish scientist’s curiosity, and he quickly and happily dove in. Other leading scientists became interested at the same time in producing atomic energy, and in 1938, German physicists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman conducted an experiment in which they “blew up” uranium by means of neutrons. During that experiment, they discovered that neutrons dismantled the uranium’s core – in a phenomenon that would come to be called “nuclear fission.” The realization of Szilard’s vision and his passion for science-fiction was lost in the annals of “science.” But it was he who discovered that in the process of nuclear fission, other neutrons are discharged creating further fission. In other words, exponential increase of a chain reaction is generated. QED. Leo Szilard (U.S. Department of Energy, Historian’s Office) Let’s go back a few years. In 1933, the Nazis enacted the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Ci...
