Main event
Scientists wrote a letter to the US President about the situation in the nuclear power industry
Albert Einstein
September 2, 1939
79 years ago
On September 2, 1939, the day after the outbreak of World War II, Nobel laureate Albert Einstein, at the request of a group of European expatriate physicists, including Leo Szilard and Edward Teller, signed a letter to US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which contained a proposal to begin work on the development of nuclear weapons.
The message of physicists contained information that on the basis of special processing of uranium it is possible to obtain a new important source of energy that could be used to create exceptionally powerful bombs of a new type.
The authors of the letter, alarmed by the presence of similar projects developed in the Nazi Germany that was just starting the war, called on the US government to use the entire scientific and military-industrial potential of the United States in order to get ahead of the Nazis in creating new weapons of colossal destructive power.
The letter came to Roosevelt on October 11, 1939. The answer was the president's famous phrase: "It requires action!". As a result, the Uranium Committee was established and $ 6,000 was allocated for the first experiments.
The practical implementation of the project, code-named "Manhattan", began on December 6, 1941, the day before the attack of the German ally of Japan on Pearl Harbor and the US's entry into World War II.

World Beard Day
Every year, on the first Saturday of September, World Beard Day is celebrated. In many countries, organize a variety of events dedicated to this unusual holiday.
A beard is one of the signs of masculinity, in some religions it is mandatory for men to wear it. Many famous people, fabulous and literary characters are recognizable also thanks to their beard. Mikhail Lomonosov even wrote the ''Anthem to the beard''.
Someone connects this holiday with the introduction by Peter I of a compulsory shaving of the beard (a sad event for all bearded men), someone believes that the festival dedicated to the beard was still among the ancient Vikings.
In fact, the holiday was invented in Australia by the comedy folk group ''The Beards''.
Anyway, the fact remains: every year at the beginning of September in many countries of the world bearded men organize and hold festive events, from quiet family picnics to large-scale street parades.
On this day, shaving is considered a manifestation of extreme disrespect. Therefore, many men who do not wear a beard, on this day refuse to shave the procedure in solidarity with their bearded comrades.
