Hahaha Yes, it's ironic right?

I thought it was Oppenheimer but I guess it depends on what you mean discovered. Einstein came up with the theory of getting the Energy out of matter but there is a lot more involved with and atom bomb. You could just as easily say the person that invented the capacitor or electricity contributed as it wouldn't be possible to make it without these things.

Out of interest is an Atom bomb patentable? Surly it would be top secret so you wouldn't take the details to a patent office??

Not at all. The Atom bomb was not discovered - it was not something occurring naturally like lightening or North America, it was hypothesized by scientists and then designed and engineered by a large collection of scientists and engineers. None of those commonly recognized to lead the project were named Adam.

Atom is a Greek term for indivisible particle, which physicists named way back before they could imagine breaking them apart. Over the years, scientists discovered the properties of atoms, and named their components (nucleus, electrons , protons, neutrons, etc.). Eventually, Einstein and others hypothesized that massive amounts of energy ( E= mc^2 ) could be released from a small amount of matter if the atom could be split - an atomic bomb. In the desperation to win World War II, the US government commissioned the Manhattan project. The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939, but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion (roughly equivalent to $25.8 billion as of 2012[1]). Over 90% of the cost was for building factories and producing the fissionable materials, with less than 10% for development and production of the weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites, some secret, across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Physicist Robert Oppenheimer led a large team of scientists in the development, which included contributions from Enrico Fermi, Robert Serber, Hans Bethe, John Van Vleck, Edward Teller, Emil Konopinski, Robert Serber, Stan Frankel, Eldred C. Nelson, Felix Bloch, Emilio Segrè, John Manley and Edwin McMillan.

Movies, books and music have told the story, which is a turning point in both world history and culture, as man's ability to physically destroy not only whole cities at a time (and ruin the world with nuclear winter for hundreds of years), but destroy the whole planet at a push of the button.

No. The atom bomb was created by Einstein and other american scientists in the 1940's. It was called "The Manhattan Project".

no, adam is believed to b d first living male gender human on earth
