Shor Term Influence

Albert Einstein had influenced many things, but one of the most important things he influenced was the making of the atomic bomb. Einstein did not work on the project directly, but his discoveries played a big part in the bombs creation. Einstein’s theory of relativity states that E=mc². This relation state that an incredibly large amount of energy can be taken out of a small amount of matter. This was fundamental in the creation of the bomb. Einstein also signed a letter addressed to Franklin Roosevelt, then president of the United States, that urged him to build a bomb.
