I mean, look at people these days. They keep upgrading the nuke and it's becoming a threat.

Let's start with the fact he didn't. That ends the entire thread.

It was actually Enrico Fermi who created it. Einstein just signed the paper. He beat himself up for it for the rest of his life because he thought he killed all those people, when he didn't.

He didn't invent the nuke, but he figured out the all helpful E=MC2 (at least I think it was him, i'm pretty sure.)

Yup, I'll repeat what everyone else said, he didn't create the bomb, But he did give the theory which led to the creation of the atomic bomb and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. So, he just helped.

Yeah, what's with that? I mean, back in the cold war days, nukes were all cool and stuff. Not at all putting the fear of death into the people of the world.

Einstein was against war, but e signed off on creating the atomic bomb because he couldn't stand the thought of what the Germans would do if they created it first.

Once Einstein found out the E=MC2 thing he couldn't wait to tell everyone, that he didn't use his brain to find out "OMG no one would use nuclearness for good, they could destroy the world with nuke!"

Well, if he had not come up with the way to create it, it would only be a matter of time before someone came up with. If the Germans got a hold of it they would have blown everything in the world except them and Japan and nations who would succumb to his power. Two bombs on Japan or countless bombs across the world? Which is better?

Because he could. If you can do something, chances are you will, for better or worse.

They didn't, it was the Romans.

Why do you think I created the Internet? Sure it was a dangerous idea filled with sex predators, but if those dammed Communists got a hold of it we would be lost!

Anyways, when I become a genius (the doctors said I would some day) I'm going to build a bomb and destroy Mars! Hah! Wouldn't that be a site? Then, I'm going to purchase Armor Games when I'm rich and famous.

And when it's all over, I'm going to create another planet in a distant galaxy and then retire.

HA! Germany had neither the technology nor (definitely not) the money.

Or the slightest notion that Einstein was a useful person.

Actually, it was the ancient Mesopotamians. But that is beside the point I am about to make...

Well, if the Nazis did find out, they would at the least try to capture him and steal his info. The Nazis were Aholes like that o.O

You would need thousands upon thousands of Atomic Bombs. In fact, you would probably need a gamma ray. And if you did this, then the orbit of the other planets would probably shift, sending use either closer or farther from the earth, spelling our doom O.o
