Question: when did einstein die ?

in a study in the latest medical journal lancet , a canadian neuroscientist and her colleagues say they have detected significant differences in the structure of einstein 's brain that might help account for his superior intellect , supporting findings from a 1985 study by california researchers .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's family did not give permission for his brain to be excised at the time , and only later consented .


Question: when did einstein die ?

at least three groups of researchers have analyzed einstein 's brain and found differences , including the 1985 california study , a 1996 alabama study and the new lancet study , written by neuroscientist sandra witelson , harvey , and a colleague .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in this latest analysis , the researchers report that a part of einstein 's brain _ the inferior parietal region , long considered the seat of mathematical thought and visual and spatial ability _ was 15 percent wider when compared with the brains of people with normal intelligence .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's brain was also unique for not having a groove , called a sulcus , that normally runs through this part of the brain .


Question: when did einstein die ?

one even called the examination of einstein 's brain `` macabre. ''


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` a case could be made that it was stolen , and it caused anguish to the family that this was done , '' said gerald holton , a harvard professor of physics and the history of science , who has written several books about einstein and his work .


Question: when did einstein die ?

the study in lancet is just the latest example of mankind 's fascination with trying to understand the brain , particularly that of einstein and other exceptional people .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. j. allan hobson , a harvard psychiatrist and neurophysiologist who has also written about einstein , raised questions about these findings as well .


Question: when did einstein die ?

but one of the authors of the 1985 california paper , neuroscientist marian diamond , said these latest findings support what she and her colleagues found _ an unusually large number of glial cells , which nourish the neurons that do the thinking _ in the same inferior parietal region of einstein 's brain .


Question: when did einstein die ?

even the researchers who have found the differences in einstein 's brain say that does not prove why he was so much smarter than everyone else , however .


Question: when did einstein die ?

but to harvard physics professor holton , who is on the editorial board of a boston university project editing einstein 's papers , `` if you want to talk about the brain of einstein , you ought to talk about what went on in that brain , what historians of science and scientists are interested in .

according to several journalistic accounts , the pathologist , dr. thomas harvey , kept einstein 's brain in a jar and at one time it sat in a cardboard box that once held apple cider behind a beer cooler in his office in kansas .


Question: when did einstein die ?

harvey had permission from einstein 's estate and his son , hans albert , to conduct studies of the brain .


Question: when did einstein die ?

he did give a few sections of the brain to a few researchers , two of whom reported that einstein had an unusual preponderance of certain brain cells , oligodendroglia , which support the brain 's networks of neurons .


Question: when did einstein die ?

did researchers want to study einstein 's brain ?


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. sandra f. witelson , the leader of a team of neuroscientists there , did not even know who he was .


Question: when did einstein die ?

these samples enabled them to determine which features of einstein 's brain were ordinary , and which were unusual .


Question: when did einstein die ?

it remains to be seen if the unusual physical features of einstein 's brain can explain his phenomenal success as a theorist of physics .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's inferior parietal lobe was 15 percent wider than that of normal people ; his brain did not have a groove that normally runs through the parietal area , a finding a `` unique '' among the brains the team studied , dr. witelson said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in examining einstein 's brain , dr. witelson relied on findings from other scientists that relate the size of a brain region and level of certain cognitive abilities .


Question: when did einstein die ?

but she said she did not confine her studies to that region .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. witelson began examining the photographs and measurements that harvey had made of einstein 's brain from a number of different angles .


Question: when did einstein die ?

harvey also brought to dr. witelson 's laboratory about 50 pieces , or a fifth of einstein 's brain , so she could also study them through a microscope .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. witelson then compared the measurements of einstein 's brain with those from 35 males and 56 females , all canadians .


Question: when did einstein die ?

because einstein 's brain was being compared with those of people who died at age 60 on average , and einstein was 76 when he died , the scientists also compared his brain to the eight oldest members of the study .


Question: when did einstein die ?

beyond the anomalies in einstein 's parietal lobe , there was no significant difference .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's brain weight and the front-to-back , top-to-bottom measurements were within the normal range of the comparison group and of individuals from other published studies , dr. witelson said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's parietal lobes were about 15 percent wider on each side , a finding that was statistically significant .


Question: when did einstein die ?

a few areas of einstein 's brain , such as his temporal lobes and the top-to-bottom measurement , `` looked a bit smaller '' than the average , dr. witelson said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. witelson said the theory is supported by an oft-repeated story that einstein 's mother was worried that he might be retarded because his head seemed large and misshapen at birth and his speech was slow to develop .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein did not speak until he was 3 years old and later had trouble forming sentences .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. witelson said that fear of media attention kept her from discussing the findings , even with other scientists who had received a small number of pieces of einstein 's brain from harvey .


Question: when did einstein die ?

dr. witelson said she did not know what further studies of einstein 's brain she will pursue .


Question: when did einstein die ?

this spring , the eighth and thickest installment of this saga , volume eight , was published by the princeton university press in two parts totaling 1,118 pages , carrying einstein through four of the most heroic and stormy years of his life , from 1914 to 1918 , when , among other things , he finished work on his crowning achievement , the general theory of relativity .


Question: when did einstein die ?

its most startling revelation is that in the spring of 1918 , einstein considered breaking off his engagement to his cousin elsa einstein and marrying her 20-year-old daughter , ilse , instead .


Question: when did einstein die ?

and the new volume calls into question the degree of einstein 's commitment to antiwar politics in wartime berlin .


Question: when did einstein die ?

most importantly , though , the papers here illuminate the tortured and confused path by which einstein finally completed his long quest to extend the principle of relativity to explain gravity and the universe .


Question: when did einstein die ?

even einstein , it seems , found it hard to be einstein .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` in these pages , '' said dr. robert schulmann , a boston university historian and director of the einstein papers project , `` we can closely observe einstein on his solitary path to general relativity , on which personal relations are sometimes callously sacrificed in the name of scientific ambition. ''


Question: when did einstein die ?

volume eight marks middle age for einstein and middle age as well for one of the most monumental and star -crossed efforts in the history of science .


Question: when did einstein die ?

the collection has already transformed scholars ' view of einstein , shedding a sometimes unflattering light on his personal life , and launching a wave of new biographies and television specials .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` you just ca n't do any work , not just on einstein but on early 20th-century science , without referring to these volumes , '' said dr. gerald holton of harvard university , a physicist , historian and einstein scholar .


Question: when did einstein die ?

a warts -and-all approach was exactly what the founders of the papers project had in mind and the trustees of the einstein estate feared .


Question: when did einstein die ?

a publishing agreement between princeton university press and hebrew university in jerusalem , to which einstein left his papers and which he helped found , was signed in 1971 , but work was delayed for several years by a lawsuit filed by dr. otto nathan , a princeton economist and einstein 's executor .


Question: when did einstein die ?

nathan , who was protective of einstein 's public image , challenged the appointment of dr. john stachel , a boston university physics professor with whom he had clashed , as sole editor .


Question: when did einstein die ?

only a committee could do justice to the breadth of einstein 's interests , nathan argued .


Question: when did einstein die ?

it was further delayed by the spectacular discovery of einstein 's love letters to his college sweetheart and first wife , mileva maric , which disclosed the birth of their illegitimate daughter , lieserl , in 1902 .


Question: when did einstein die ?

diligent scrounging in attics and archives , and the courting of collectors and descendants of einstein 's friends and family , have produced another 25,000 papers .


Question: when did einstein die ?

schulmann said he did not know what was in the sealed archive and admitted it was `` uncomfortable '' for a historian to be in the position of presenting only a partial record .


Question: when did einstein die ?

the most significant discovery to date of the papers project has been einstein 's letters to mileva .


Question: when did einstein die ?

subsequent volumes have revealed unflattering details of einstein 's marriage , including the affair with elsa and a bossy memorandum detailing the conditions under which he would go on living with mileva .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` to me this makes him more human , '' said schulmann , who added that he still liked einstein and admired the way he thumbed his nose at authority .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` the einstein we 're trying to recover in these volumes is a living , breathing personality with faults .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` in many ways it was the best of times and the worst of times for einstein , '' holton said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's theory , which explains how matter and energy `` curve '' the geometry of space-time to create the phenomenon known as gravity , has been called one of the greatest intellectual feats of all time .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein completed the theory in the fall of 1915 after eight years of struggle .


Question: when did einstein die ?

intriguingly , einstein had actually written down the correct formulation as early as 1912 or 1913 , but then abandoned it in favor of a different version called the `` entwurf , '' meaning design or blueprint , which he had cooked up with his old friend , the mathematician marcel grossmann .


Question: when did einstein die ?

one of einstein 's strengths was that he trusted his gut feelings , said dr. michel janssen , a professor of physics and philosophy at boston university and co-editor of volume eight .


Question: when did einstein die ?

for example , einstein discarded his original formulation of general relativity by coming up with a problem he called the `` hole argument , '' which addressed the question of whether the universe was uniquely determined by the arrangement of its contents .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein believed that it must be , but that his original formulation would violate that principle .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in the fall of 1915 , however , when the entwurf theory was falling apart for other reasons , and the mathematician david hilbert of goettingen university was also on the trail of general relativity , einstein changed his tune .


Question: when did einstein die ?

`` einstein is good at believing what he wants to believe at various stages of the game , '' janssen said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein was a bit of an opportunist . ''


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein 's personal life was marked by a streak of callousness and aloofness , schulmann said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

nowhere is that more evident than in the strange letter , dated may 25 , 1918 , that ilse einstein sent to her close friend georg nicolai , a doctor , well-known antiwar crusader and einstein family friend , with the words , `` please destroy this letter immediately after reading it '' scrawled across the top in big letters .


Question: when did einstein die ?

at the time einstein , who had moved to berlin four years earlier to take a lucrative appointment to the prussian academy of sciences and become director of the newly formed kaiser wilhelm institute of physics , was 38 and in the process of divorcing mileva , presumably so that he could marry his cousin elsa .


Question: when did einstein die ?

ilse , the older of elsa 's two daughters , was serving as einstein 's secretary .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in it ilse related how a simple `` jest '' one afternoon had suddenly escalated into a serious proposal that einstein marry her instead of her mother .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein , she said , had confessed that he loved her .


Question: when did einstein die ?

ilse loved einstein like a father , she wrote , but she had no desire to be close to him physically .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein and elsa were married the next year and remained husband and wife until her death in 1936 .


Question: when did einstein die ?

-lrb- ilse later married rudolf kayser , a writer and literary critic who subsequently wrote a biography of einstein .


Question: when did einstein die ?

ilse 's letter first came to the attention of the einstein scholars in the early 1990s .


Question: when did einstein die ?

he said he saw the letter and the situation it described as an example of einstein 's vaunted ability to detach himself from the people around him .


Question: when did einstein die ?


Question: when did einstein die ?

ilse and her confidant nicolai also emerge in the new volume as key influences on einstein 's political activities during the war .


Question: when did einstein die ?

shortly after the outbreak of hostilities , einstein was one of only three people to sign an `` appeal to europeans '' deploring the destruction of international culture , making him a hero to the pacifist movement , and he attended meetings of a pacifist political club , the bund neues vaterland .


Question: when did einstein die ?

historians have long thought that einstein drew up the manifesto , but the evidence , schulmann said , suggests that it was actually written by nicolai , an antiwar crusader , and author of a book called `` the biology of war . ''


Question: when did einstein die ?

but , again , detachment characterized einstein 's actions .


Question: when did einstein die ?

at the same time that he was attending antiwar meetings , presumably at the behest of ilse and elsa , schulmann said , einstein consulted for a maker of submarine gyroscopes and even tried to design an airplane for the military .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in his letters he often said that the war did not intrude on him .


Question: when did einstein die ?

after the bund was outlawed in 1916 , einstein stopped attending meetings and resisted nicolai 's continuing schemes .


Question: when did einstein die ?

einstein `` identified with the underdog and the outcast , '' schulmann observed , `` but he was not prepared to march in the ranks. ''


Question: when did einstein die ?

into a true and open research and conference center devoted to einstein scholarship , '' he said .


Question: when did einstein die ?

in fact , holton said , the option of publishing the einstein papers in a facsimile form was considered back at the beginning and rejected in favor of the traditional style of extensive annotation and accompanying essays .


Question: when did einstein die ?

schulmann said it would take another 10 volumes to carry einstein 's story to 1933 , when he left berlin and came to america .

Question: when did einstein die ?

what einstein 's son hans albert did n't know was that the scientist 's brain , the 20th century 's ultimate supercomputer , had been taken out of his body and saved by the pathologist who performed the autopsy , thomas harvey .

einstein did not donate his body to science , but harvey decided to take a piece of it anyway .
