Albert Einstein
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
― Albert Einstein
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
― Albert Einstein
“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
― Albert Einstein
“I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.”

“Genius is 1% talent and 99% percent hard work...”

Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, among other feats. He is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century.
He was not able to speak until he was almost 4 years old.
The young boy was slow to speak, perhaps because his brain developed concepts before words. As an adult, he explained, "I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.
His teachers said that he would “Never amount to much."
Elsa, Einstein's wife, remembered when Einstein conceived his theory of relativity. "During breakfast one morning, he seemed lost in thought and ignored his food. She asked him if something was bothering him. He sat down at his piano and started playing. He continued playing and writing notes for half an hour, then went upstairs to his study, where he remained for two weeks, with Elsa bringing up his food. At the end of the two weeks he came downstairs with two sheets of paper bearing his theory.
The now world famous equation "e = mc2" unlocked mysteries of the Universe theretofore unknown.
Today, the practical applications of Einstein’s theories include the development of the television, remote control devices, automatic door openers, lasers, and DVD-players.
Einstein died in 1955, at his request his brain and vital organs were removed for scientific study.
During the autopsy, Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain, reportedly without the permission of his family, for preservation and future study by doctors of neuroscience. Einstein's remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered in an undisclosed location, following his wishes. After decades of study, Einstein's brain is now located at the Princeton University Medical Center.
