A scientific breakthrough that changed the face of international and domestic warfare forever was named the Manhattan Project (1942). The Manhattan Project (1942) was under the direction of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Its focus was to create a bomb using the expulsion of atomic energy. This secret operation where they built and assembled the first atomic bomb was located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. With the creation of such a device of destruction no one imaged it would lead to the deaths of almost 300,000 Japanese people. With such a huge breakthrough many events lead up to and followed the Manhattan Project (1942) but none compared to how it shaped our world as we know it. The Manhattan Project had many hands involved in fields of engineering, physics etc. but the leader of the project was J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967). Many might think that Albert Einstein was the head of the project or a main figure in this huge secret operation. However, Albert Einstein only brought up the idea of building the bomb because of the events occurring in Germany. Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt warning him of the soon to come atomic warfare that could be waging across the world. With this news President Roosevelt setup, the Manhattan Project and put in charge the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Hargittai (2012) said that once J. Robert Oppenheimer became the leader of the Manhattan Project he was forever would be forever known as the â€Å"father of the atomicShow MoreRelatedEssay on Silent Spring - Rachel Carson30092 Words   |  121 Pageshelp a friend from Duxbury, Massachusetts, challenge a state mosquito control program that seemedto be wiping out birds.
