    So that is not a fire tower. That is the "East Gate" where you used to have to check into town during the Manhattan Project!

      To be exact, it's the guard tower for the East Gate.

    1:37 You say "it's where Albert Einstein lived the last part of his life." That's not true. Einstein was not part of the Manhattan Project. He wrote a letter to Roosevelt about his concerns that Germany may be developing a bomb and that the U.S. should engage in similar research. That was his only indirect connection. This letter signed by other notable scientists was the impetus for Roosevelt to start research, but Einstein was not one of the scientists engaged. The U.S. thought Einstein was a security risk and never invited him to assist on the project, and probably didn't even want him near Los Alamos! I'm not sure that even after the war he ever even visited the state of New Mexico, much less spent his last years in Los Alamos! He taught at Princeton, NJ and had a home on or near the campus. He was at Princeton for 20 years and died there. His wife actually died in their home in Princeton.

      Yes, Einstein was never anywhere near Los Alamos.
