In 1938 Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman were two German scientists who demonstrated nuclear fission. Nuclear fission released an enormous amount of energy called nuclear energy that can be used in many ways, including a dangerous weapon. They found that they could split the nucleus of a uranium atom by bombarding it with neutrons. As a result, the uranium nucleus splits some of its mass to be converted to energy. Other physicists noticed that the fission of one uranium atom gave off extra neutrons

Real Life Negotiation – Summer Uncertainty Cameron Thum Heading into our third year summer, my friends and I were in a relatively good position. We had all secured internships in our fields of interest for the summer and, better yet, many of us received placement in New York.

I believe that the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was necessary. Although I don’t think that the second bomb should have been dropped, I think that the first one was needed.

Well first of all, I think that the Japanese wouldn't have surrendered to the United States due to the ancient art of Samurai. I say this because most of the population of Japan still today takes in many forms of

powerful explosion might be possible by splitting an atom. Engineers, Scientists, and the Army got together to start the Manhattan Project (The process of the making of the atomic bomb.) Albert Einstein helped the scientists with his theories. He sent a letter to President Roosevelt telling him how Hitler was trying to create the same bomb, he approved that they should start the Manhattan project, because they were scared that the Nazis would do it first. The atomic bomb was successfully tested in Los

President Franklin D. Roosevelt soon ordered scientists and military officers to come together and develop the atomic bomb under a group named The Manhattan Project. At this time, there weren’t many physicists left in German due to the rise of Hitler and scientists fleeing the country to seek refuge in the United States. The refugee scientists soon joined The Manhattan Project and contributed to its success. The development and research of the atomic bomb wasn’t something that happened quickly, it was gradually
