Maybe they are working out technical problems like that.

I remember having read some stories about the Manhattan Project, how there were countless of hard practical problems to solve before to get the bomb blowing up in the dessert.

Now what it seems like a fast technological jump sprint in the 40s, was actually the lifework for dozen of persons, scientists, engineers, even some layperson giving inspiration to someone trying to solve an equation.

I think they had a working bomb design almost from the beginning, but they didn't have a functional practical technique to (fastly) enrich the uranium (S-50 project and the other two).

I think these years feel "fast" for many people (young specially), but the research of radical change technology remains hard as it was always.

If you want a "public" example of how hard is, take a look at the CERN work.

Yes, but sometimes "technical problems" are "physical laws".
