Albert Einstein died. He was 76.
Albert Einstein’s work laid the groundwork for many modern technologies including nuclear weapons and cosmic science.
After his death, Einstein’s brain was removed and preserved for scientific research by Canadian scientists.
It was found that the part of Einstein’s brain responsible for mathematical thought and the ability to think in terms of space and movement was 15% wider than average.
It also lacked a groove which normally runs through this region suggesting that the neurons were able to communicate.
In 1999 Albert Einstein was named “person of the century” by Time magazine.
