Neils Bohr- Won Gold medal in the Royal Danish Science Academies. Also won a Nobel prize for his work in the discovering and understanding of the Atom and nuclear sciences.
Joseph C. Carter- Born Versailles, Kentucky on September 28, 1910. Began schooling at the United States Naval Academy School at age 18. Then went on to get his Masters in Mechanical Engineering at the Columbia University and was asked to work on the Manhattan Project under the work of Leslie Groves. Died of a stroke in June 26, 1992
Enrico Fermi- Born September 29, 1901. Brother died in 1915 and promised his brother he'd stay and study in the art of science. He entered the school of Scuola Normale Superone at the University of Pisa and graduated with a PHD. In 1938 Fermi split an atom. On December 2nd, 1942 Fermi created the first sustained nuclear fission (which happens to be extremely crucial to the making of the atomic bomb). This nuclear fission got Fermi a Noble Prize and also landed him a job on the Manhattan Project.
Richard Feynman- Born May 11, 1918 in Queens, New York where he lived in a modest-Middleclass neighborhood. At age 15, Feynman mastered the art of Integral Calculus. Accepted into MIT in 1936 where he acceled in physics and other scientific subjects. He went to Princeton as a Graduate. But when he was asked to join the Manhattan Project, age 24, to the Los Alamos theoretics division he did so.
Robert J. Oppenheimer- Born April 22nd, 1904 in Manhattan, New York. He went to Harvard university and studied 4 years of advanced chemistry. He was involved with the manhattan Project from the start, he even recruited most of the scientists. He predicted it would take 4 years to make the bomb, but in just a short 27 months, it was done. He received the Fermi award in 1963 for his efforts on the bomb. He eventually died of throat cancer in 1967. He had smoked for over 60 years and died at the age of 67.
