Here are some *facts* about Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman...

They both worked for the military building bombs at the same time, and
got paid the same amount $25.00 a day. They both had security clearance with
the military. They both ended their bomb making work at the same time after the war ended.

Albert Einstein was never granted a security clearance thus he never
worked directly on any bomb projects.

"Without a security clearance, Einstein's only scientific contribution
was an analysis of an isotope."

<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=einstein+security+clearance&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1>

"Einstein himself had only a minor role in the Manhattan Project: he had
cosigned a letter to the U.S. president in 1939 urging funding for
research into atomic energy, warning that an atomic bomb was
theoretically possible. The letter persuaded Roosevelt to devote a
significant portion of the wartime budget to atomic research. Without a
security clearance, Einstein's only scientific contribution was an
analysis of an isotope separation method in theoretical terms. It was
inconsequential, on account of Einstein not being given sufficient
information to fully work on the problem."

Yeah! An isotope.

Like if the drooling imbecile could know what the fuck was that.

He, that didn't know what a fucking neutron was, by 1934. And that the energy lied on molecules, not atoms.

Read his press conference at Pittsburgh, Dec.28, 1934.

I posted the link on the thread about his m=E/c2.

And, WIKIPEDIA? Seriously?

Never, ever quote Wiki as a source. Let that for cretins like Dono.

ROTFL, sorry.
Reality check:
J. Edgar Hoover, as you may know the long-time FBI chief,
carried a deep and by now well-known grudge against Einstein.
He did what he could to get Einstein thrown out of the USA
as an undesirable alien.
The way to do that was to prove Einstein a communist,
or at least a communist sympathiser.
He never succeeded, but it was not for lack of trying.
BTW, you can easily find the FBI files on Einstein on the net.

The idea that Einstein could have gotten a security clearance
is ludicrous, and obviously based on complete ignorance,

It appears that many subscribers of sci.physics.relativity are in some kind of cult.



Do you think facts will deprogram them? I don't think so.


Albert Einstein NEVER was denied any security clearance. He simply didn't want to leave
his home to go and work somewhere else.

He simply chose consulting using 'liaisons' to send and receive information.

(he used a lot of liaisons) (leo szilard was one of them)
(Albert Einstein told the FBI that he sees SZILARD quite frequently as SZILARD visits him to inform him as to his work on the uranium experiment.
Albert Einsteinsaid that the last time he had seen SZILARD was a week or ten days ago, at which time SZILARD had visited him, together with Professor EUGENE WIGNER, of Princeton University.)



That was his MO ...modus operandi.








"...One possible way

of achieving this might be for you to entrust with this task a person

who has your confidence and who could perhaps serve in an inofficial

capacity. His task might comprise the following:

a) to approach Government Departments, keep them informed of the

further development, and put forward recommendations for Government action,..."

https://hypertextbook.com/eworld/einstein/#first





personal facts about Einstein: He tried to avoid trips to Washington,:
another possible explanation for his reluctance to travel to the Capital
surfaced when he declined a Navy suggestion that he come and pick up
some research material. ''I thank you very heartily for your kind
invitation,'' he wrote, ''which I shall gladly accept if the need
arises. Without such need, I shall try to avoid such trips, knowing that
I would be very much molested by snobbish people.''

Einstein pleaded illness to avoid a trip to Washington. ''On account of
the condition of my health,'' he wrote, ''it is not advisable for me to
go to Washington without urgent necessity.''
https://www.nytimes.com/1985/11/18/us/briefing-a-smart-man-indeed.html




To put it simply, Einstein was a lazy person.

The blend of truth and clear fiction you post in the face of
well established and published realities make your posts on
the topic of Albert Einstein unworthy of consideration and
further discussion. I am not picking a fight with you, I am
ending it.

FYI Szilard and Wigner were Hungarians who had previously
(when all three were living in Europe) been Einstein's students.

Einstein had surgery related to his abdominal aortic aneurysm
in 1948. The symptoms did not emerge overnight, certainly he was
ill when he declined to travel in the 1943-44 period discussed
in the NYT article you've referenced. Clearly it was not laziness
that kept him close to home.

If are considering deprogramming, please start with yourself. None
of the arguments you've presented are worthy of the time I've devoted
to answering you and if for no other reason I will not continue such
discussions.

I mean, really..has anyone here, there or everywhere ever recall
Albert Einstein 'saying' he didn't have military clearance????

Did he ever said once to the effect, "I didn't have military
clearance."?

He said that Einstein was “a strongly sexual person” who enjoyed the company of numerous women even while married. Dr. Plesch conjectured that AAAs usually have a syphilitic origin. Why, he thought, would it be so unreasonable to assume that Einstein contracted syphilis on one of his escapades? Some authors have echoed Plesch’s claim, repeating it as undoubtedly true because it came from a close confidant of Einstein.

Current thinking appears to attribute AAA to tobacco.

The above is a classically Dunning-Kruger response.

FBI report on Richard Feynman

RICHARD PHILLIPS FEYNMAN was employed in the Theoretical
Physics Division at Los Alamos, as a scientist from
1943 to October 27, 1945. She
advised her records reflect during 1946 FEYNMAN was listed as
a consultant at $25.00 per day,

Albert Einstein Facts:
May 17, 1943
Dear Lieutenant Brunauer:

Professor Einstein has told me of his con-
versation with you and showed me your
gracious letter of May 13th suggesting arrange-
ments under which he may be of assistance to
the Navy for theoretical research on explo-
sives and explosions.

In talking over the matter with Professor
Einstein he and I have both come to the
conclusion that probably the best arrangement
would be for the Navy to make an individual
contract with him on the basis of $25 per day,
Einstein's security clearance was ob-
tained very quickly, and the contract was
signed on May 31 . Soon after that, I made
my second trip to Einstein, taking to him
for consideration one of the toughest
problems that puzzled us at that time. The
problem was whether the detonation of a
torpedo should be initiated in the front or
in the rear.

The imbecile changed his answer after a couple of days, following advices of real scientists.

The torpedo has to detonate UNDER the middle of the ship.

We know for a fact that Feynman was sent to Geneva
for the 1958 United Nations 'Atoms for Peace' conference.
That implies that he was fully trusted.

Remember that Feynman (at Los Alamos)
had been responsible for coordinating
the numerical computation of plutonium implosions,
which is still highly sensitive information.
Optimising a bomb depends on it.

If there had been any doubts about his loyalty
he would not have been allowed to leave the USA, [1]
like for example Linus Pauling,
