And, although many seem to believe (see: [[Urban Legend]]) that Einstein helped the U.S. devise the first [[Atomic Bomb]] (probably because of [[E=MC^2]]), he in fact had nothing whatsoever to do with the project.  He did, however, warn [[President]] [[Roosevelt]] in a letter<ref>[http://www.dannen.com/ae-fdr.html]</ref> that the [[Nazi]] [[German]] government was working hard to develop one.
