The atomic bomb was invented by two refugee German scientists in Britain, Professor Rudolph Peierls and Otto Frisch, of Birmingham University. They designed a "blue-print" for making an atom bomb in 1940
It actually began when the Italian-born physicist Enrico Fermi, working in the United States, invented an apparatus which produced the first atomic chain reactions. In 1940 both the Americans and British were researching the atom bomb and when the United States entered WW2, the British joined the American "Manhattan Project" and production of the bomb went on ahead in the US.
The first atom bomb has lead to development such as the hydrogen and nuclear bomb, which are much more powerful than the first atomic bomb. However because of damages to our environment and atmosphere, programmes for such development has been limited and treaty are signed between major countries around the world.
The explosion of an atom bomb consists of an immense release of energy caused by the chain reaction in which more and more atoms are split. The reaction begins when on atom of U-235 or plutonium (a radioactive by-product of nuclear fission) splits under the impact of a single neutron. The atom splits into two fragments and at the same time releases more neutrons, which then split more atoms, and so on, in a self-sustaining sequence. The whole process only takes one millionth of a second to complete, but in order for a chain reaction to occur there has to be a certain quantity of U-235 of plutonium present

You have to really weight a lot of the consequences here. Einstein and his group of fellow scientists very much realized that german scientists were fastidiously working on trying to split the atom and create a chain reaction (a bomb). If Hitler got his hands on such a weapon, the world would have never been the same as it is now. Einstein never had any direct connection with Hitler and moved to the US in 1933, well before German attacked Poland (6 years in fact). He actually left Germany because Hitler became Chancellor and Einstein being Jewish didn't see much future there. So your friend is WAY off on almost everything. Einstein was also a pacifist but also a realist. The war would have gone on many more years with Japan as the Japanese revered their Emperor as a God and would gladly die in his honor (as we saw with the kamikaze's). The US military experts predicted that to end the war with Japan a full frontal attack of Japan would be mandatory and would cost anywhere from half a million to a million American lives. As well, two other points of matter, Einstein only worked on the project for 2 days helping seperate fission, on a project that lasted years. As well, he was also very well aware (and feared) that such a technological advancement would lead to an arms race after the war ended, which as we know, it did. Einsteain made only a few quotes after the bombs were dropped on Japan, one being that he felt that Roosevelt would have never resorted to the bombs, and this famous one, "I have always condemned the use of the atomic bomb against Japan." And later this one just before his death, ""I made one great mistake in my life... when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification - the danger that the Germans would make them."

Are you talking about the atomic bomb like the ones we dropped on Japan that ended World War ll, or the "real" atom bomb.
The real atom bomb was invented by Joe Atom of Atlantic City, New Jersey in the late 1920s. Joe and his wife were walking on the boardwalk at approximately 12:30 one afternoon when he got hungry. There was a hot dog stand nearby and Joe ordered a couple of hot dogs. He also got a side order of baked beans. He loved the beans so much that he devoured five more orders of them. That afternoon when Joe got home, he had a bad stomach ache and was passing gas like there was no tomorrow.
He went into his bedroom to rest. A couple of hours later, Joe's wife Florence went in to check on Joe. The stench in the room was unbearable, so Florence opened a window to air the room out. While she was there, she took one of Joe's cigarettes and lit it. Just as she lit the cigarette, Joe let loose with another rounds of farts. The blast from the exploding gas was so intense that Florence went flying out of the window and no one could find her. Three days later, the cruise ship Mauritania docked in New York. On board was Florence who landed on the deck of the ship 480 miles out to sea. When the FBI heard of what happened, the commissioned a bureau to develop their own atom bomb. The rest is history, but Joe Atom was the first to create the real atom bomb!

love m is correct.
All the the work done by the above mentioned scientists was based upon Einstein's original theory.
