Yay IB physics for teaching me all the useless names for those particles xD
Up and Down Quarks, seriously, could've came up with better names >_>

This is indeed pretty historical. It's good to know they finally figured it out.

Einstein found it in 1year at 1905 and our scienticists (sorry for bad grammar) just figued it out? 103 years ?+ lot of scienticists einstein was alone
wow to einstein the legend!

"OHH 103 YRS LATE OMFG NOOBZ"
Compare the resources and what is considered "common knowledge" among scientists at our current time and Einstein's time. Einsteins ideas were based on assumptions he was lucky enough to be correct on. I'm not saying Einstein was an idiot, he knew full well he was making assumptions he wasn't 100% sure were correct.
Half of the people on this forum wouldn't understand if I told them electrons aren't particles, but waves. They would flip out and call me an idiot. How can they comment on something much more complex than such a basic statement?
That's quantum mechanics you learn in what... 10th grade? Oh wait... Too many people on this forum can barely spell their name right. 6th grade dropouts, we salute you.

Dont bash me but I didn't learn that yet.
So they aren't particles?
... That would explain a lot.

Considering it took so long that it is very difficult for a human to find a away to convert mass to energy or energy to mass in a controlled enviroment ( considering the Atomic bomb was Mass converted to energy at the speed of light), and to be able to do it under a mathmatical test situation, you needed a hell of a powerful computer to do so, and they finally got the oppurtunity to do so, unfortunantly Mr. Einstien was not here to see this moment, or even have a chance to a supercomputer we have to today to test his theories, but we got to give the man credit, he gave us a basis on to stand for nearly endless energy source or....infinite destructuion

and japan never raped, pillaged, burned thousands of korean, chinese and vietnamese people right? I might sound cruel but you should just look up what kind of experiments they did on human subjects..even worse than nazi germany

I'd go further and thank his parents for getting married and making him. Or maybe I should go thank his grandparents?

Yes, humans are cruel. It's indeed that tools such guns, mines, nuclear can be useful in real life. But it's not because that it origined good things that you can ignore the bad effect it causes.
The japanese babies and children are innocent, no one deserve to die. The one you should blame is your president and your government. It's because they are greedy for oil, for power, for territory, etc...
Look at the vietnamese, they
never attack other countries; but the chineses, japaneses, americans and frenches attack us for no reason! They've got a wide territory, but still greedy interested in a small country.
As for Einstein, he didn't directly participate to the destruction, but you can say he did it indirectly. He has been used as a weapon for the government. But still, at least, i hope he should pray for the millions of death caused indirectly by him.

Einstein is dead, and the only time we actually invaded and occupied a country over oil and military contracts was in 2003. We are still in that country.

If you want to blame Einstien or coming up with the concepts behind the bomb then blame truman for dropping it and your ancestors for voting for him and your ancestors parents for having them etc etc. Einstein was a scientist. It was his lifes work to push the limits of science. Mankind used his work and instead of turning it into a positive (Nuclear energy) the first thing they did with it was make a bomb. And after the bomb was made Einstien was one of the ppl who fought hardest against its use. But as soon as the bomb was dropped Americans were holding Parades and rejoicing in the streets cause hey, the war was over.
Scientist are tools, i don't like it but for the most part we're the nerdy kids in class who have all the answers. That we would come up with the answers doesn't speak ill of us but that the whole class would try to cheat off us and extort those answers so they can get ahead speaks volumes about them. Mankind can't be trusted with too much Knowledge, thats why God forbade us to eat from the tree.
