Ever since I put up my Albert Einstein page, The Man Who Built The Atomic Bomb..
I've been getting what seems to be...opposing views.
Now the opposing views people have put up a web page. Who_Built_the_Atomic_Bomb%3F
Einstein is not even mentioned *once* on their web page.
It seems that they

think that The "Martians," built the atomic bomb.
"a spaceship from Mars landed in Budapest, dropping off the extraordinarily gifted Edward Teller, Eugene Wigner, John von Neumann, and Leo Szilard."
The Starmaker
I am reminded of a line in.. a movie?
There was this kid I grew up with; he was older than me.
Sorta looked down to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street.
Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran refrigerators into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too.
As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to construct a new type of an extremely powerful bomb.
That kid's name was Albert Einstein, and the bomb he invented was The Atomic Bomb. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts.
And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in Manhattan! Someone took the credit for his atomic bomb.
No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Albert, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things, writing stupid letters.
So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!
