Albert Einstein's Letter to FDR ♦ This Day in the USA ♦ August 2

Albert Einstein said: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” On August 2 1939- Albert Einstein sent the first of his four letters to President FDR urging him to develop the capacity for an Atomic Bomb.

And 6 years later- nearly to the day- an entire city was incinerated in an instant. Today, we have on alert, enough nuclear weaponry to extinguish all human life forms on the planet many times over.

This Einstein fella must have been a good writer.
