    when I was student studying basic of all materials in simple literatures the Bohra&apos;s atomic model and Rutherfurd&apos;s cyclotron I want to know more about the subject. Now your video gives all back up history for the same in your part makes me as I made the experiment. Then as my part feel like I am the one who discovered all these and not any others including yourself.

    Einstein was asked if they would ever split the atom. He said would never happen it is impossible. &nbsp;The same with atom bomb Einstein said &nbsp;mathematics proved it &nbsp;wouldn&apos;t happen. Another mathematician went to him and proved mathematics allowed the atom bomb. He was the one wrote the letter <br>To fdr and said Germans will going build the bomb. Einstein just signed the bottom.

    Downvoted the video and blocked your channel. Too much visual noise. What did you <i><b>want</b></i><b></b> to do with the bright flashes of light? No matter what you <i><b>wanted</b></i><b></b> it to do, it got your channel blocked. Bye.
