Like we all who built it first and all, but how did the humans know that such a weapon could be possible to build with so much capability? Was there research from older scientists and physicists that led to the idea that such a thing was possible and only needed to be built?

Think about how food gives you energy (literally in this case). For reference, a jelly donut has about as much energy (measured in calories) as a stick of dynamite.
Once you get a sense for how much energy is locked up in boring stuff like food, and then find something that is much more interesting (like plutonium), an atom bomb is a more natural thought.
