DUST AND STARS--TODAY IN JEWISH HISTORY (Abridged) February 11, 1898: Birthday of Leo Szilard, a Hungarian-American physicist and inventor who: 1. patented the idea of a nuclear reactor with Enrico Fermi; 2. wrote the letter in 1939 for Albert Einstein’s signature that resulted in the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb; 3. conceived the electron microscope, the linear accelerator and the cyclotron The above is an abridged version of Dust & Stars.

Today marks the birthday of Albert Einstein, one of the most famous scientists in history. One cannot easily overemphasize the mark his famous equation (E = mc^2) left not just on nuclear physics, but in many other areas of scientific innovation. A #NobelrPize Laureate and @time's Person of the Century, Einstein exhibited throughout his life a nearly unparalleled depth of knowledge and insight into science. Among others, he explained the relationship between mass and energy, which became part of the most famous equation in the world: E=mc^2. Einstein’s work on atomic energy is embodied : he is often credited as being the first to recognize that atomic energy could indeed be unlocked, laying the foundation for modern nuclear science. His keen awareness of the atom’s power also led him to strongly advocate for atomic energy to only be used for peaceful purposes. The legacy of this remarkable scientist lives on as we pursue our mission at the IAEA to enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity throughout the world. #Einstein #atomicenergy #einsteinfact #alberteinstein #sciencerules #birthday

Did you know that Polish mathematician and nuclear physicist Stanisław Ulam participated in the Manhattan Project. He is also known for Teller–Ulam design of thermonuclear weapons and discovered the concept of the cellular automaton, invented the Monte Carlo method of computation, and suggested nuclear pulse propulsion. In pure and applied mathematics, he proved some theorems #polakpotrafi #polescandoit
