In 1935 Einstein was asked if the atom would ever yield its energy. He replied, " It is like shooting for birds in the dark in a country which has very few birds". Einstein was dismissive, as the energy required to split the atom was far more than the energy yielded during nuclear fission. |

The Nazi war machine soon took on the challenge of attempting to produce nuclear energy according to Einstein's equation. . |
