Yes, those dates seem correct. But this might be a better source as it's all available online? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:52, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

dismissal of the use of nuclear energy

According to https://www.lockhaven.edu/~dsimanek/neverwrk.htm and https://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/29/magazine/tomorrow-never-knows.html Einstein said in 1932:

There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear] energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.
