On This Day in 1939

A Couple Of Immigrants In South Canada

Wrote a letter to Prez Roosevelt, imploring him to begin a frankly speculative research program that would take years and cost millions to come to fruition.  Art!


     The consequences are very much still with us, as the people writing the letter were Leo Szilard and Albert Einstein, proposing that South Canada develop the dreaded Fission Foofoodilly, which they managed in 5 years, South Canadians being an enterprising kind of folk.  What you see above is 'Trinity', the first atomic test shot to prove the big bang bombs worked.

     That's probably ended any polite conversations, so let us press on with the Links.
