'In Memory of Leo Szilard' 66" W x 36" H Raku Fired Ceramic 1995 Leo Szilard was the one who come up with the idea of the chain-reaction back in 1934. He patented it with the British navy to assure that the idea will not get into the wrong hands. His theoretical work laid the base for the Manhattan project, testing the fact that chan-reaction will acure if critical mass of radioactive material brought together. It was in the physical laboratory of the University of Chicago where the first test was made. Loe Szilard was also the only co-writer of Einstein's letter to Rouswell which started the "making of the Bomb". Szilard was one of the first, if not the first, scientist who were able to fore see the power of destruction of the Bomb, and started a campaign to not to use it. This action landed him on the wrong side of the establishment and his security clearance was withdrawn by 1944. He newer got the well deserved acknowledgement. With this work I pay my respect to him.
