Do you agree to blame einstein and other people involved in the development Nuclear Bombs?

Question

I just saw on the net, how devastating a nuclear bomb exploded, 1000x more powerful than atomic bomb. Why did they invented such things that will endangered human lives? Why did they develop it knowing it wil be used in the wrong way?

Answer 1

Absolutely NOT.
Einstein was not the person responsible for the Bomb.

With your way of thinking we have to blaim Prometheus for giving to humans the gift of fire....and start searching who has invented the knife, the wheel, and whatever we use and we put ourselves in danger.

I don't think that Einstein's intentions were his "mathematical thoughts" should be used to destruction.

On the other hand... we have many positive outcomes from his thoughts.
Why do you cover them up?

In a case of a murder, committed by knife....who should you blaim?
The knife or the person who was handling the knife?

Answer 2

No. To blame these scientists would not solve the real problem: ourselves.

What if another country like North Korea or Germany had developed these bombs before the United States? Then I think these bombs would have been used many times over the last 50 years if humanity was still around.

Although it is safe to say that it is insane to have developed these things, until we can all live together in peace, these types of weapons will continue to be made. As John Lennon once said: 'Give peace a chance".

Answer 3

You can't blame the creators. Some worked to create the atomic bomb for the intention of beating Hitler to the first use. Do you think Hitler would have thought twice about dropping it. Many were very concerned about the connection of their work and the potential for misuse, so it's not like they all did it to be remembered for providing the opportunity to kill people.

As atomic capability spread, many scientists around the world knew that much more powerful weapons were possible. Unfortunately, they all rushed to create them and make them more and more powerful.

Einstein was very much a pacifist. However, he temporarily suspended that for the greater good of the world:
" Einstein surrendered his lifelong pacifism in 1939, when he wrote a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt encouraging the President to begin atomic weapon research. He felt uneasy about the rise in power of Nazi Germany and was told that German physicists had split the uranium atom. A citation like this could create a nuclear chain reaction permitting large amounts of radium elements and huge amounts of energy to be produced. "

He later regretted that he played a role in this, but again, if his understanding of German engineering was right, it was going to happen anyway. If not Germany, others were also running the race.

After 61 years, not one has been used since Japan other than testing, so I'd say that so far we've done good at managing the capacity for damage and the threat to life.

Answer 4

Einstein theorized that the atomic bomb could be created, and became into instrumental in beginning the form of the comparable by way of writing a letter to President Roosevelt wherein he confident the President that the Germans have been already engaged on the technical examine of the layout, and that if the US did not act first, they may well be dealing with being attacked by way of the Germans with this technologies. hence, you're able to say he became into the daddy of Atomic power.

Answer 5

No sane person develops something they know will always be used the wrong way. People innovate and create new and more powerful stuff. Power does not equal evil. Morality is determined by the ethics of the people that use power.

People can discover things without creating them. People can create things without knowning what they do.

The only thing I am afraid of is someone creating a weapon of pure evil ( think instant universal apocalypse ) on accident.

I hold the people that developed Nuclear weapons, any weapons, in high regard. Their creations created this fear of BAD weapons in me.

My dangerous theories are at redonkulicity.com/theory.html
They are not about weapons. They are about LEARNING, DISCOVERING, and CREATING anything.

The theory itself is probably infectious so please read only if you think you can handle what might be very profound.

Answer 6

No blame for the scientists in general since they did it to retaliate any country want to ignite an international war.You should blame those who used it or having intentions to use it illegally

Answer 7

Nope I don't blame anyone for that. You can't stop progress. Some is good and some is bad, but it is gonna happen no matter what.

Answer 8

Sure, but only because it seems that no one else will. That's just how I roll.
