We all know that Einstein was a genius. So much so that his brain would work more than a thousand scientist. Things which we never thought of let alone understand Einstein work on those things and made it easy for the whole world. Albert Einstein was a physicist who published the theory of special relativity and formulating the photo photoelectric laws and left the world surprised And therefore he was awarded the nobel prize seeing his an extraordinary thinking and understanding power. People believe that Einstein had extraordinary brain which was quite different from ordinary human. Einstein too knew this therefore he didn't want his body to be researched upon after his demise. Rather he has instructed his body to be cremated But the same happened what Einstein was afraid of.
Died
On 13 April 1955 when Einstein princeton hospital. The doctor came to perform the doctor came to perform the autopsy stole Einstein's brain secretly because he was curious to know what's there inside the brain of this genius.
Dr Thomas Harvey
The doctor who stole Einstein's brain was Dr Thomas Harvey, who is more interested in studying this brain than faces the consequences. When the Princeton hospital come to know about this incident, they fired him. But Dr Harvey was successful in pursuing Hans Albert to give him permission to research upon his father's brain and let the world know about it.
Journey
For that day a long journey started for that brain Dr thames Harvey was a pathologist who knew only about postmortem and that's why he believed that he would be able to research this genius's brain but the situation was that Dr Harvey lost his job in Princeton hospital and also the designation of a pathologist . Dr Harvey took Einstein's brain to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he took a lot of photos of the brain and cut them into 240 small pieces and preserving every piece's in seperate jaws, he hides all of them in his basement because of this, he had arguments with his wife as his wife used to threaten him that she will throw this brain outside. The arguments eventually lead to divorce and Dr Harvey went Wichita, Kansas with the brain where he started working as a supervisor and her in his free time he tried to study Einstein's brain after that he frequently switched jobs and move to different cities with the brain instead his medical license was cancelled and the situation was so bad for that he had to start working in plastic factory At the time he made a good decision to send different piece's of the brain to the best neurologist of the world for detailed research and he did that .
30 years after
30 years after the brain was stolen first time in 1985,a study was published several studies on this genius brain. In which it was found that Einstein's brain was quite different from the ordinary human brain . The biggest difference found in the corpus callosum part.Whatever work a human does, it is processed in one part.And then brain send signal to that part of the body left brain control the right portion of the body whereas right brain control the left portion of body and for 90% human left brain is responsible for speech, understanding,mathematical calculation and writing. Whereas the right brain is responsible for creativity, understanding of shapes, art and music. Now you must be thinking then what is the work of corpus callosum?imagine you are typing on keyboard or mobile phone and while doing this both of our hands are busy typing left hand is typing some alphabets and right hand is also doing the same during typing your left hand made a mistake and you quickly used your right hand to erase that mistake,it rectified the mistake by signalling the left brain the link through which both halves of the brain is connected is called corpus callosum and Einstein corpus callosum,was larger than ordinary human that's mean his left brain and right brain had a strong connection . Apart from the difference in corpus callosum Einstein's brain pattern also quite different from others . Today Einstein's brain kept in America's mutter museum which are preserved with a great care in microscopic slides.
