Top5 Things Done With Einstein’s Brain After His Death

Einstein’s brain was completely different from other humans. Einstein was a person with extraordinary talent. His brain was the most genius brain of his century. The greatest scientist and doctor wanted to know the secret of Einstein’s brain. In today’s article, what happened to Einstein’s brain, how research was done on it and what was proved by the research. All these questions will be answered.

Friends, today we know many things about the universe based on the theories given by Albert Einstein in physics. Albert Einstein gave us a perspective to see this universe. Einstein’s theory of relativity told us what time is, at what speed time is running in the universe, how the speed of time is different on different planets, how speed slows down time and how we can time travel. Albert Einstein gave his theories at a time when technology was not so advanced.

On 18th April 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey, the great scientist Albert Einstein, who created a stir in the world of science, died. Albert Einstein knew that his brain was the most genius brain of this century. Einstein did not want any scientific research to be done on his body after his death. Because of this, Albert Einstein had already given instructions that after his death, his body should be cremated properly without any tampering with it.

5) Robbery

What Albert Einstein feared happened. After Einstein’s death, the responsibility was given to Thomas Harvey, the chief pathologist of Princeton Hospital, to autopsy Albert Einstein’s dead body and find out how Einstein died. For this, Dr. Harvey entered the room in which Albert Einstein’s body was lying on a table. But there was something else going on in Dr. Harvey’s mind other than autopsying Einstein. Dr. Harvey felt that there was some secret in Einstein’s brain due to which Einstein was not a normal person but a genius. To know the secret of Einstein’s brain, Harvey took out Einstein’s brain from Einstein’s body and stole it.

4) Experiment

No one had a better opportunity than Dr. Harvey to understand the secret of Einstein’s brain. Dr. Harvey took advantage of this opportunity and did not care at all about what would happen to him later. When later Princeton Hospital came to know about this act of Dr. Harvey, he was fired from the job and his medical license was also canceled. Then Dr. Harvey sought legal permission from Albert Einstein’s son Hans Albert to do research on Einstein’s brain.

Dr. Harvey always kept Albert Einstein’s brain with him, due to which Harvey and his wife often quarreled and one day the quarrel increased so much that both of them got divorced. Dr. Harvey took many photographs of Albert Einstein’s brain. He cut Einstein’s brain into 240 pieces and preserved them in different jars. Years were passing by and Dr. Harvey was not able to understand anything about Einstein’s brain. Then he decided that he would send different parts of Einstein’s brain to the world’s renowned neuropathologist and he did the same.

3) Result

About 30 years had passed since Albert Einstein’s brain was stolen and after 30 years, for the first time in the year 1985, a study was published on Einstein’s brain. Research revealed that a part of Einstein’s brain called corpus callosum was larger than the brain of ordinary humans.

Actually the human brain is divided into two different parts. Both parts of the brain have different functions. For example, the left brain works in speaking, understanding and doing mathematical calculations etc. While the right brain looks at logical things like creativity, recognizing different shapes etc. A bridge works to connect these two parts of the brain. Which is called corpus colossus. The larger the corpus colossus, the more information will be exchanged between the left and right brain and the brain will work in a more efficient manner.

2) Weight

Because Albert Einstein’s corpus colossus was larger, Einstein could imagine the most difficult problems and situations at the same time. When Albert Einstein’s brain was weighed, its weight was 1230 grams. Whereas the brain of ordinary humans weighs 1400 grams. Researchers believe that the lining of Einstein’s brain was very thin due to which more neurons were able to flow in it. Due to which his ability to think and understand was more than that of ordinary humans. This is the reason why Albert Einstein could solve the most difficult math problems in his mind without the help of pen and paper.

1) Preservation

Einstein’s genius brain is still preserved in microscopic films in The Mutter Museum in America with great care. So that the future generations can get inspired by it and know that there was a genius in this world whose name was Albert Einstein.
