He is also noteworthy for coining the terms quantum foam, wormhole, and the phrase “it from bit.” on Atomic theory. He also contributed to the creation of the nuclear bomb as element of the Manhattan project. Einstein is also noted for inventing the words quantum foam, the wormhole and the expression “it from bit.”

The trio of He, Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi pioneered the theory of nuclear fission, by which atomic particles splitting released massive amounts of energy, leading the way for the creation of atomic weapons. and Enrico Fermi were the first to develop the concept of nuclear fission in the splitting of atomic particles released huge amounts of energy. This paved to the development of nuclear weapons.
