Since for years, we have been told that EVERYTHING is a bunch of atoms, at that small level, even using atoms, in the furtherance of electronics, the question has always been:
“What holds all this together?”

Those that use the bible to explain away everything, and debunk any and all science in the process, (which may include the very science keeping them alive), will always have the same answer as the Mohammedans, “God”! That’s fine for theolgical arguments, but for those of us who are more science-based, it ain’t gonna fly.

To just show that “there is an atom glue”, is a huge discovery! we’ve already proven that we can ‘smash an atom’, with the productive, as well as the destructive realities of such a discovery. Now, once we can identify ‘the glue’, then we might be able to ‘graft’ different atoms to perform miraculous things.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

In him was light, and that light was the light of man. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood [some translate "overomce"] it." John 1:1-4 NIV

Since lbryce has so carefully stuck his fingers in his ears, he must discover another way to the truth: namely, that the The Bomb was not based on “Einstein’s Theory” (of which there were several).

The many advances in nuclear physics and other disciplines that made The Bomb feasible were made by others, some of whom were German expatriates or refugees from nations being threatened by the Third Reich. One cannot help but wonder at the irony of it all: many were Jews.

Leo Szilard, Hungarian and Jewish, was a primary mover among the small group of scientists who’d conceived of a nuclear weapons program; he led the successful effort to convince Dr Einstein to sign the letter to President Roosevelt, hinting that a Really Powerful Bomb might be buildable. It was reckoned that Albert Einstein’s celebrity status and internationally famous goodwill might capture FDR’s attention. Throughout the war and the years until his death in 1955, Dr Einstein held no security clearances and did not do any work on the Manhattan Project.

Like many intellectuals, Dr Einstein at times expressed views about collectivism, pacifism, and one-worldism that lesser lights find quite dippy. Scientists can be naive about such stuff. While conceding the unpleasant necessity of fighting Nazi Germany, he was never quite so sure that the United States was so pure in a moral fashion that it (or indeed any nation) could be fully entrusted with the levels of military capability it built up, for the Second World War and later the Cold War. He did once give voice to the opinion that it might be better for the rest of the world if Germany was disestablished as a nation.

In the most recent biography of Albert Einstein, author Walter Isaacson recounts what the good Dr did and didn’t think, very readably. He also explains relativity without resoting to much math. He did concede the workday obvious: that all of us now live in Einstein’s world. But that is mostly because of the photoelectric effect, the explanation of which earned Dr E his only Nobel Prize.
