I know you're a schizophrenic and you'll just call it all fake but I can explain how to split an atom, and why this would release massive amounts of energy. As atoms get larger and larger, you have more and more protons packed into the same size space, more or less. Protons all have the same charge and want to repel each other, but this charge is spread out by neutrons, which allows large, complex elements to be stable. There are two fundamental forces within the nucleus: a strong force that holds the nucleons together, and a weak force that pushes them apart. The strong force is stronger but has less "range," the weak force is weaker but has greater "range." When you get heavy elements like Uranium 235, which has 92 protons and 143 Neutrons, the nucleus of the atom is very unstable. Think of this nucleus as being in a "high energy state." A Uranium nucleus will split apart and decay if simply left there, but fission can be induced if struck with a neutron of a specific energy level. Uranium 235 was chosen because when it decays, it releases 2 neutrons, which have sufficient energy to cause other Uranium 235 atoms to break apart. This causes a chain reaction. Now, you have all of these atoms going from a "high energy state" to a "low energy state" in a fraction of a second. It's more complicated than this, but a split Uranium atom releases energy for the same reason that a light bulb filament does.
