Produced model of the expanding universe
In 1930, Albert Einstein and Willem de Sitter produced a model of the expanding universe. (Meadows 229-248) After Einstein gave his amazing ideas on gravity, energy and matter they were able to come up with things about the universe. They came up with this idea in 1915 then they finally finished it. ("The Expanding Universe") -
Letter to President Roosevelt
In 1945, Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt. The letter was about the substance Uranium and him knowing that it is going to be important. Six years later after that letter, there was a bombing in Hiroshima and Einstein discovered that it was made from Uranium. (Cane 145-147) -
