Rarely known but very intteresting facts about ALBERT EINSTEIN'S life

[Makanyaga]

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.[SUP][83][/SUP] 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.[SUP][84][/SUP]


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."[SUP][85][/SUP] He died in Princeton Hospital early the next morning at the age of 76, having continued to work until near the end.


During the autopsy, the pathologist of Princeton Hospital, Thomas Stoltz Harvey, removed Einstein's brain for preservation without the permission of his family, in the hope that the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent.[SUP][86][/SUP] Einstein's remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered at an undisclosed location.[SUP][87][/SUP][SUP][88][/SUP]


In his lecture at Einstein's memorial, nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer summarized his impression of him as a person: "He was almost wholly without sophistication and wholly without worldliness ... There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn."[SUP][89][/SUP]

Wikipedia is not that bad. What you need to do is to counter-check what you get from it with other sources.

At least I knew about the stealing of Einsten's brain before today.

Richard Feynman,Sigmund Freud ni confirmed walikuwa wanatumia mjani

By then ilikuwa ni sigara ya kawaida, na possibly watumiaji walikuwa wanaonekana watu wa fahari.

The good thing with wikipedia is that it has everything including every information that is completely not found in other webpage sources. However, if you happen to doubt the credibility of any information it offers (that which cannot be found anywher else), you would be warmly welcome to prove it otherwise!
