beeaar: Dec 16, 2005; ♥

I remember reading a while ago that when Einstein was working on his theory of relativity (or whatever theory lead eventually to the development of the bomb, I know almost nothing about science whatsoever) someone figured out the kind of force it had and tried to warn him by passing him a note about it on the street, but Einstein dismissed it and never heeded the warning.

Any historians know if that's correct? Do we know who gave him the note or tried to warn him? Can you fill me in on the details or link me to a page about this? Or is this sort of a legend?
