The most famous physicist was albert einstein,
creator of the theory of relativity, was born in 1879 in Germany.
He knew that his death would be news around the
world thanks to its reputation as the best physicist of the world, therefore
explained to his family that his body would be cremated and his ashes would be
scattered in a river, until reporters learned of his death and thus it happened
But Einstein hadn't counted
on the pathologist, who would be responsable for his autopsy, he stole his
valuable brain. The brain was stolen by Thomas Harvey,he went to weight it
without telling anyone, he cut it into pieces, put in formol and hid it. He
took in many containers to his house.
Harvey told Hans Einstein
why he had done, he explained that it was to watch her father's brain to
investigate and it was well worth it and do not look like a robbery. Hans
agreed to the pathologist retained the brain, with the promise that they would
give a scientific use.
In 1978 a journalist of the
magazine New Jersey Monthly, called Steven Levi got an interview with Harvey.
The article with a immodest title was published. The title was "Einstein's brain was found by me"
