This person stole Einstein's brain and cut it into 240 pieces

Who Stole The Brain Of Einstein: A surprising incident happens after Einstein's death. A pathologist named Thomas Harvey steals his brain. Thomas Harvey was greatly influenced by Einstein's intelligence.

The theory of relativity was a huge discovery in the history of human evolution. The theory of relativity given by Albert Einstein in the year 1905 created a stir in the world of scientists. This theory told us that both time and space are interconnected and due to the effect of gravity the fabric of time and space gets bent. Because of this time slows down. This discovery proved that time is not the same everywhere. This one discovery raised many questions about the Newtonian understanding of the universe among scientists at that time. Today, many big scientific discoveries in the world such as GPS, Nuclear Energy, Gravitational Wave Astronomy, etc. are based on the principle of relativity.

Just think, in this vast universe where our Earth's existence is negligible. It was a big deal for a person to make such an extraordinary discovery there. Because of all these discoveries, Einstein had become synonymous with genius. His talent and intelligence were being discussed everywhere. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey.

A surprising incident happens after Einstein's death. A pathologist named Thomas Harvey steals his brain. Thomas Harvey was greatly influenced by Einstein's intelligence. He believed that the mystery of Einstein's intelligence could be solved by studying his intelligence.

Keeping this in mind, after stealing Albert Einstein's brain, Thomas Harvey kept it with him for decades. During this time, Thomas Harvey cut Einstein's brain into 240 pieces. He had preserved these pieces in cellodine.

After studying Einstein's brain, Harvey and his colleagues published a study paper in 1985. It was claimed that Einstein's brain had an abnormal ratio of two types of cells, neurons and glia. However, this study was quite controversial.
