- Without the science of physics and the work of physicists our modern ways would not exist.
- Without physicists there would be no electronics.
- All other natural sciences depend upon physics for their foundations of their knowledge.
- Physics have also led in bringing people to think in scientific ways.
- The other great subdivision of mechanics is statics the study of matter at rest.
- Also without physics any electronic would be unimaginable.
- Mathematically, W=Fs, where W is the work done, F is the force applied, and s is the distance moved.
- His famous equation E=mc2 explains the energy released in an atomic bomb but doesn't explain how to build one.
- He came to regret taking even this step. In an interview with Newsweek magazine, he said that "had I known that the Germans would not succeed in developing an atomic bomb, I would have done nothing."
- Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt asking that the bomb be built. The splitting of the uranium atom in Germany in December, 1938 plus continued German aggression led some physicists to fear that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb.
- Although he never worked directly on the atomic bomb, Einstein is often incorrectly associated with the advent of nuclear weapons.
- He repeatedly reminded people, "I do not consider myself the father of the release of atomic energy. My part in it was quite indirect."
- Nevertheless, Einstein was frequently asked to explain his role—as he was when a Japanese magazine editor asked him, "Why did you cooperate in the production of atomic bombs, knowing full well their...destructive power?"
- Einstein's answer was always that his only act had been to write to President Roosevelt suggesting that the United States research atomic weapons before the Germans harnessed this deadly technology.
