Like many other great or here we can say terrible inventions of
mankind, the Nuclear bomb has no single author but is the
result of diverse efforts and investigations. Many of them
occurred within the framework of World War II (1939-1945).
However, two theoretical physicists, one German and one
American are often cited as pioneers: Albert Einstein and
Robert Oppenheimer. Nuclear Bomb

As a famous author of relativistic physics, Einstein laid the
theoretical foundations of what later led to the nuclear bomb or
atomic bomb with his special theory of relativity published in
1905 and above all with his well-known formula E = mc2, i.e.
the energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. This formula enabled the feat of turning mass into energy and
energy into mass, which is basically what happens in atomic
bomb reactions: an atom is "split" and part of it is turned into
free energy
