Писмо Ајнштајна Рузвелту о атомској бомби и кајање

[Juan Valdez]

 

 

On this letter, Einstein would later comment: "Because of the danger that Hitler might be the first to have the bomb, I signed a letter to the President..."

 

"Had I known that the fear was not justified, I would not have participated in opening this Pandora's box... For my distrust of governments was not limited to Germany."

 

Of course, Einstein's involvement in atomic weapons remains the most complex and contentious chapter in the great man's legacy - and this is reflected in his own writings.

 

Among these documents, an example written by Einstein in 1952 to the scientist and author, Kenneth Heuer, reads:

 

"About the technical development in the field of atomic energy: I was not interested in that matter for years but rather disgusted by the course it has taken in the hands of short-sighted politicians... To me it is enough to know that the continuation of the existence of human beings is in serious doubt if no supra-national solution can be achieved." - Albert Einstein
