His contributions are not restricted only to the fields of science, but also to
the individual person: from powerful heads of states to the average citizen.
Albert Einstein helped Oppenheimer1 develop the fundamental science needed to
break atoms, causing massive amounts of energy to be released. There are two
common forms of this technology today, the Nuclear Power Plants, and the Atomic,
or Nuclear Bomb.

During the WWII battles with Japan, the United States government instructed a
