Question

which statement about albert einstein is false?
he led the manhattan project, a program to create and test the atomic bomb.
he wrote to franklin roosevelt, urging that the united states start working to build an atomic bomb before the germans could do so.
he left germany, never to return, and became an american citizen.
his formula $e = mc^2$ led scientists to understand that splitting a uranium atom resulted in the release of extraordinary amounts of energy.

Explanation:

• The Manhattan Project was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer, not Einstein. Einstein wrote to Roosevelt about the atomic bomb, left Germany and became a US citizen, and his \( E = mc^2 \) helped understand atomic energy release.

Answer:

A. He led the Manhattan Project, a program to create and test the atomic bomb.
