The Manhattan Project |
||||
| Home | The
Manhattan Project is the code name for the U.S. government's secret project
that was established before WWII for the development of a new weapon. The new weapon was known as the atomic bomb. A
German scientist, known as Albert Einstein, helped with the designing and
creation of the bomb, and proved later on to have played an important role.
J. Oppenheimer was the lead scientist at the laboratories at Los Alamos in
New Mexico, where, by the time the a-bomb was finished, employed over 3000
of the greatest minds in physics. In December of 1944, Einstein and
Oppenheimer finished the atomic bomb.

know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV
will be fought with sticks and stones."
