The photo you mentioned, depicting Albert Einstein conversing with Robert Oppenheimer, does not necessarily imply that Einstein directly assisted in the creation of the atomic bomb. While Einstein's work in physics, particularly his theory of relativity, laid the foundation for understanding nuclear energy, he was not directly involved in the development or construction of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project.
However, Einstein did play a role in raising awareness about the potential destructive power of atomic energy. Prior to World War II, he signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging the United States to research atomic weaponry, as he was concerned that Nazi Germany might be working on such a weapon. This letter contributed to the eventual establishment of the Manhattan Project.
Nevertheless, Einstein's involvement was primarily limited to raising awareness rather than participating in the project itself. After the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Einstein became an advocate for nuclear disarmament and expressed regret for the role his work indirectly played in the development of atomic weapons.
So, while Einstein had an indirect influence on the atomic bomb's development through his letter to President Roosevelt, he was not directly involved in its creation, and the photo you mentioned does not imply his direct assistance in the process.
