Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein is recognized among the world's greatest physicists. He was born on March 14, 1879. By the age of 12, the genius had taught himself algebra and Euclidean geometry during one summer session. He is also remembered for developing the theory of relativity and the mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2. Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his services to theoretical physics and his discovery of the law. He independently discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem. He was only 12 years old when he discovered it. At the same time, by the time he was 14, he had mastered integral and differential calculus. In his lifetime he published over 300 scientific papers with over 150 non-scientific ones. His brain is said to have been so sharp that it was stolen by pathologist Thomas Harvey after his death. In such a situation, let us know why Pathologist Harvey had stolen his brain.
Pathologist Thomas Harvey stole brains without permission in 1955
Einstein died on 18 April 1955 at Princeton Hospital. Meanwhile, pathologist Thomas Harvey had stolen his brain. For this, he did not even take permission from his family members. However, when it was probed, Harvey said that he had taken permission from his family for the same. His mind will be used only for scientific interests.
Harvey made 240 pieces for research
According to media reports, Harvey was also fired from Princeton Hospital after stealing the brain. After which he went to Philadelphia with Einstein's brain. Here they cut 240 pieces of the brain. However, Harvey's wife was angered by doing so. After which Harvey went to the Midwest with pieces of Einstein's brain. Here he kept pieces of Einstein's brain in a beer cooler.
Harvey's medical license was also revoked due to brain theft.
It is said that Harvey's medical license was also revoked due to the theft of Einstein's brain. Even in the Midwest, he faced obstacles in doing brain research, so he moved to Weston, Missouri, and studied there. After this, in 1985, Harvey and his colleagues together published a study of Einstein's mind. Which claimed that he had an unusual ratio of neurons and glia (two types of cells) in his brain. The research also claimed that studying Einstein's brain could be of great help in uncovering neurological diseases.
Einstein did their Ph.D. in 1905
In 1900, Einstein published his first paper Findings from Capillarity Phenomena. In 1905 he received his Ph.D. in Physics. In 1905 itself, he published four important papers on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and the equivalence of mass and energy. This year is also known as Einstein's 'Year of Miracles'. In 1925 he was awarded the prestigious Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London for his contributions to the theory of relativity and quantum theory.
He was so busy with research that he got divorced from his wife.
Einstein married Mileva Marić in January 1903. However, Maric and Einstein's relationship ended in 1919. Einstein married Elsa Löwenthal in 1919 after a five-year relationship. Elsa died of kidney disease in 1936. Einstein also reportedly loved music and said that if he had not been a physicist, he might have been a musician. He was also greatly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and the two exchanged several letters during their lives.
