I’ve been watching “Genius”, the Einstein bio mini-series, and just finished the episode that takes place during WWI. He makes a lot of enemies by refusing to join a bunch of other scientists who pledge to assist the military… has a huge break-up with a longtime close friend (the chemist who invented mustard-gas)… makes a lot of impassioned speeches about how scientists are supposed to explore/explain the mysteries of the universe, not assist in mass killing.

Now I’m nervous about what’s going to be in the next episodes that so drastically change his mind (it was his letter to Roosevelt that inspired the Manhattan Project, he personally recruited the top echelon of physicists who made it work).
