5. Now Some More About Sir Einstein
 Albert Einstein (pronounced /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/;
German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪ̯ nʃtaɪ̯ n] ; 14 March 1879 – 18 April
1955) was a theoretical physicist. His many
contributions to physics include the special and
general theories of relativity, the founding of
relativistic cosmology, the first post-Newtonian
expansion, explaining the perihelion advance of
Mercury, prediction of the deflection of light by
gravity and gravitational lensing, the first fluctuation
dissipation theorem which explained the Brownian
movement of molecules, the photon theory and wave-
particle duality, the quantum theory of atomic motion
in solids, the zero-point energy concept, the semi
classical version of the Schrödinger equation, and the
quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted
Bose-Einstein condensation.

6.  Einstein is best known for his theories of special
relativity and general relativity. He received the
1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to
Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery
of the law of the photoelectric effect."
 Einstein published more than 300 scientific and
over 150 non-scientific works. He is often regarded
as the father of modern physics.

7. Scientific career
 Throughout his life, Einstein published hundreds of
books and articles. Most were about physics, but a
few expressed leftist political opinions about
pacifism, socialism, and Zionism. In addition to the
work he did by himself he also collaborated with
other scientists on additional projects including the
Bose–Einstein statistics, the Einstein refrigerator
and others.

8. Bohr versus Einstein
 Einstein and Neil Bohr. Einstein's disagreement with Bohr
revolved around the idea of scientific determinism.
Repercussions of the Einstein-Bohr debate have found their
way into philosophical discourse as well. Photo taken by
Paul Ernest during their 1925 Leiden visit.
 In the 1920s, quantum mechanics developed into a more
complete theory. Einstein was unhappy with the
Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory developed
by Neil Bohr andWerner Heisenberg. In this interpretation,
quantum phenomena are inherently probabilistic, with
definite states resulting only upon interaction with classical
systems.A public debate between Einstein and Bohr
followed, lasting on and off for many years (including during
the Solvay Conferences). Einstein formulated thought
experiments against the Copenhagen interpretation, which
were all rebutted by Bohr. In a 1926 letter to Max Born,
Einstein wrote: "I, at any rate, am convinced that He [God]
does not throw dice."

10. Religious views
 The question of scientific determinism gave rise to
questions about Einstein's position on theological
determinism, and whether or not he believed in
God, or in a god. In 1929, Einstein told Rabbi
Herbert S. Goldstein "I believe in Spinoza'sGod,
who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the
world, not in a GodWho concerns Himself with the
fate and the doings of mankind."

11. Politics
 Einstein and Indian poet and Nobel laureate RabindranathTagore during their
widely publicized 14 July 1930 conversation
 Einstein flouted the ascendant Nazi movement, tried to be a voice of
moderation in the tumultuous formation of the State of Israel and braved anti-
communist politics and resistance to the civil rights movement in the United
States. He participated in the 1927 congress of the League against Imperialism
in Brussels. He was a socialist Zionist who supported the creation of a Jewish
national homeland in the British mandate of Palestine.
 AfterWorldWar II, as enmity between the former allies became a serious issue,
Einstein wrote, "I do not know how the thirdWorldWar will be fought, but I can
tell you what they will use in the Fourth — rocks!" In a 1949 Monthly Review
article entitled "Why Socialism?" Albert Einstein described a chaotic capitalist
society, a source of evil to be overcome, as the "predatory phase of human
development" (Einstein 1949). With Albert Schweitzer and Bertrand Russell,
Einstein lobbied to stop nuclear testing and future bombs. Days before his
death, Einstein signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, which led to the Pug
wash Conferences on Science andWorld Affairs.
 Einstein was a member of several civil rights groups, including the Princeton
chapter of the NAACP.When the agedW. E. B. Du Bois was accused of being a
Communist spy, Einstein volunteered as a character witness, and the case was
dismissed shortly afterward. Einstein's friendship with activist Paul Robeson,
with whom he served as co-chair of theAmerican Crusade to End Lynching,
lasted twenty years.

13. Death
 On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding
caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which
had previously been reinforced surgically by Dr. Rudolph Nissen
in 1948. He took the draft of a speech he was preparing for a
television appearance commemorating the State of Israel's
seventh anniversary with him to the hospital, but he did not live
long enough to complete it. Einstein refused surgery, saying: "I
want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I
have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." He
died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of
76, having continued to work until near the end. Einstein's
remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered around the
grounds of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New
Jersey.During the autopsy, the pathologist of Princeton
Hospital,Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain for
preservation, without the permission of his family, in hope that
the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what
made Einstein so intelligent.

14. Legacy
 While travelling, Einstein had written daily to his wife Elsa and
adopted stepdaughters, Margot and Ilse, and the letters were
included in the papers bequeathed toThe Hebrew University.
Margot Einstein permitted the personal letters to be made
available to the public, but requested that it not be done until
twenty years after her death (she died in 1986). Barbara Wolff, of
The Hebrew University's Albert Einstein Archives, told the BBC
that there are about 3,500 pages of private correspondence
written between 1912 and 1955.
 The United States' National Academy of Sciences commissioned
the Albert Einstein Memorial, a monumental bronze and marble
sculpture by Robert Berks, dedicated in 1979 at its Washington,
D.C. campus adjacent to the National Mall.
 Einstein bequeathed the royalties from use of his image toThe
Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Corbis, successor toThe Roger
Richman Agency, licenses the use of his name and associated
imagery, as agent for the Hebrew University.

16. The Saga of Einstein’s Brain: Pickled in a
Jar for 43 Years and Driven Cross Country
in a Trunk of a Buick!
 After his death in 1955, Einstein’s brain was removed – without
permission from his family – byThomas Stoltz Harvey, the Princeton
Hospital pathologist who conducted the autopsy. Harvey took the brain
home and kept it in a jar. He was later fired from his job for refusing to
relinquish the organ.
 Many years later, Harvey, who by then had gotten permission from Hans
Albert to study Einstein’s brain, sent slices of Einstein’s brain to various
scientists throughout the world. One of these scientists was Marian
Diamond of UC Berkeley, who discovered that compared to a normal
person, Einstein had significantly more glial cells in the region of the brain
that is responsible for synthesizing information.
 In another study, SandraWitelson of McMaster University found that
Einstein’s brain lacked a particular "wrinkle" in the brain called the Sylvian
fissure. Witelson speculated that this unusual anatomy allowed neurons in
Einstein’s brain to communicate better with each other. Other studies had
suggested that Einstein’s brain was denser, and that the inferior parietal
lobe, which is often associated with mathematical ability, was larger than
normal brains.

17.  The saga of Einstein's brain can be quite strange at times: in the early
1990s, Harvey went with freelance writer Michael Paternity on a cross-
country trip to California to meet Einstein’s granddaughter.They drove off
from New Jersey in Harvey’s Buick Skylark with Einstein’s brain sloshing
inside a jar in the trunk! Paternity later wrote his experience in the book
Driving Mr. Albert: ATripAcross America with Einstein’s Brain
 In 1998, the 85-year-old Harvey delivered Einstein’s brain to Dr. Elliot
Krauss, the staff pathologist at Princeton University, the position Harvey
once held:
 … after safeguarding the brain for decades like it was a holy relic — and, to
many, it was — he simply, quietly, gave it away to the pathology
department at the nearby University MedicalCentre at Princeton, the
university and town where Einstein spent his last two decades.
 "Eventually, you get tired of the responsibility of having it. … I did about a
year ago," Harvey said, slowly. "I turned the whole thing over last year [in
1998]."
