Who discovered the method to make an atomic bomb?
You can argue there’s a lot of individuals who should get credit. Einstein’s E=mc^2 equation dictates the amount of energy released in the nuclear fission process, although he didn’t know it at the time of writing (1905). When the average energy of the neutrons produced by U235 fission was found to be enough to fission another U235 nucleus, pretty much everyone knew a chain reaction bomb was possible. Enrico Fermi was the first scientist to create a nuclear pile and confirm the fission process. Leo Szilard (and Einstein) warned President Franklin about the possibility of a chain reaction (atomic) bomb. And Oppenheimer oversaw the effort to make an atomic bomb.
