He was taken to the hospital for treatment but refused surgery, believing that he had lived his life and was content to accept his fate. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly. However, during his life, Einstein participated in brain studies, and at least one biography claimed he hoped researchers would study his brain after he died.
Einstein's brain is now located at the Princeton University Medical Center. In keeping with his wishes, the rest of his body was cremated and the ashes scattered in a secret location. According to The New York Times , the researchers believe it may help explain why Einstein was so intelligent. In , a team of scientists confirmed one aspect of Einstein's general theory of relativity, that the light from a star passing close to a black hole would be stretched to longer wavelengths by the overwhelming gravitational field.
Tracking star S2, their measurements indicated that the star's orbital velocity increased to over 25 million kph as it neared the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, its appearance shifting from blue to red as its wavelengths stretched to escape the pull of gravity.

Elsa Einstein was physicist Albert Einstein's second wife, supporting his work, nursing him back to health, and moving with him from Germany to the United States in Albert DeSalvo is best known for confessing to be the "Boston Strangler," who killed 13 women in Boston in the early s. Prince Albert married his first cousin, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, at the age of 20, and after his untimely death at age 42, the queen's memory of him guided her for the next 40 years.
Physicist Enrico Fermi built the prototype of a nuclear reactor and worked on the Manhattan Project to develop the first atomic bomb.
Benjamin Franklin is best known as one of the Founding Fathers who never served as president but was a respected inventor, publisher, scientist and diplomat. Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, in Physics, and with her later win, in Chemistry, she became the first person to claim Nobel honors twice.
Her efforts with her husband Pierre led to the discovery of polonium and radium, and she championed the development of X-rays. Albert Einstein was a physicist who developed the general theory of relativity. He is considered one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century.
Albert Einstein's Life in Photos. Olivia Rodrigo —. Megan Thee Stallion —. Einstein was flummoxed by his public reception. In one famous incident, he was accompanying Charlie Chaplin to the opening of his film City Lights when they were mobbed by thousands of fans. We are the focus of our lives and with the contemporary cults of individuality and celebrity, too many people eagerly welcome the spotlight and take it as a sign of their superiority. But Einstein did not seek mass adoration or personal aggrandisement.
He was not present to receive his Nobel prize. He refused the presidency of Israel. He was willing to step into the public eye when it suited his causes, but he was not one to seek fame for the sake of fame.
Here is a man who changed the way the way we see reality, who stared down hatred and stood up for justice, yet despite all of this, the thing we immediately think of is that mane of unkempt, wild white hair.
That may seem shallow of us, but I think it is a good thing. It was a political statement — he refused to conform to social standards of personal appearance. He was unapologetic in his individuality and unashamed of being different. Growing up a Jew in Wilhelmine Germany, where he was sent to a Catholic school, he was always aware of being an outsider and became not only comfortable with his distance from the mainstream, but took it as a mark of pride.
As a child, Einstein was very lonely and shy. He liked to spend time alone in parks. He first realized the wonders of science at the age of four, when his dad introduced him to magnets and their properties. By the time he was thirteen, he was reading and understanding scientific material that many adults found impossible to comprehend. When he compared what he read in science books to what he was being taught about the Bible, he began to doubt parts of his religious training in school.
As the political situation in Germany worsened, the Einstein business failed once again. When the family left Germany to move to Italy, Albert withdrew from his school in Munich at age fifteen.
About a year later, he went to Aarau, Switzerland to attend secondary school. He was sixteen, two years younger than most of the students who would be starting there.
He took the examination to get into the school and scored very high in mathematics. He failed miserably in French, English, zoology and botany, supposedly on purpose. The director, however, was impressed with his math abilities and offered to let him study for a year in a different school before entering at the Swiss Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. After studying math and physics, he realized that science was a better way to seek out answers to his own personal questions.
As a matter of fact, one of the most powerful leader in history was Adolf Hitler. In spite of the horrendous things he did overtime, he was very influential to his people. Hitlers leading tactics are along the lines of Jacks. Hitler was a fraud and acted as if he was the nicest man alive to gain the power he needed. Since Nemur valued intelligence very greatly, he thought that where there is no intelligence, there is no being. Charlie strongly disagreed with this because he had seen the situation from both perspectives.
He knew that he was a person before the experiment. He had feelings and emotions, which in his opinion was a more apt classification of human beings than an intelligence quotient. Charlie suffered mistreatment throughout his life and when he gained intelligence, he was horrified at how the mentally handicapped were. Veidt had always been a smart child and achieved mediocre grades on purpose to keep his remarkable intelligence out of suspicion Watchmen p.
His plans to bring earth to a utopian state prove his intelligence and effectiveness in making strategic plans. However, he maintains a serious composure throughout by looking out windows and investing himself in deep thoughts.
The hero that we all know today, Superman, is an excellent example of a modern hero. The comic of Superman was created during the Great Depression as a form of happiness during the very sad time. He was created by two high school students who wanted a strongman to have superhuman strength and powers, but his main enemy would be more internal rather than external. Eventually, Superman blew up and was known as the amazing modern hero with incredible strength and able to accomplish anything that he had set his mind to.
That is due to his being an outcast, but however I find I am so shy and unconfident at times, that I have a hard time getting my ideas.
