Hello everyone I am new to PF actually this is my first thread. I am looking for the equation to see how far and how, the radiation from the Nuclear Blast using E=mc^2. Can anybody help? Please[?]

Actually what they wanted was about fallout radii, a school presentation, apparently.
They needed to know the types of radiation, the longevity of the radio activity, (as per emitter/emmissions) and the need to pay attention to the direction of the winds
Humm, library? Humm, isn't that a lot like the internet? a big library with actual human intern'actions...Originally posted by NateTG
Hit the library. There's published material for all of this information.
Einstein did not directly contribute to the development of the atomic bomb, but his famous equation, E=mc², played a crucial role in understanding the potential energy released from splitting an atom. His work on the theory of relativity also provided a foundation for the development of nuclear fission reactions.
No, Einstein was not involved in the Manhattan Project, which was the top-secret program during World War II that developed the first atomic bomb. However, he did write a letter to President Roosevelt in 1939 warning about the potential development of an atomic bomb by Nazi Germany, which ultimately led to the formation of the Manhattan Project.
Einstein expressed regret and sadness about the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. He was a pacifist and believed that the bomb would only lead to more destruction and suffering. However, he also recognized the importance of developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The atomic bomb did not significantly affect Einstein's reputation as a scientist, as his contributions to the field of physics were already well-established. However, his involvement in the development of the bomb did create controversy and criticism from some who believed he should have done more to prevent its use.
Einstein did not express regret for not working on the atomic bomb. He believed that his strength was in theoretical physics and that he would not have been successful in practical applications like building a bomb. He also maintained his stance as a pacifist and did not want to contribute to the development of weapons of mass destruction.
