Einstein blog post #13

Albert Einstein is nearing the end of his life and at this point he has proved his theory of relativity, E=mc(2) and that you don't need to have socks on every morning to be incredibly smart. The reason that I bring up the socks is that Einstein almost always forgot to put on his socks in the morning. Many of the local kids would ask him why he didn't have socks on and he would respond by looking down at his bare feet and saying that he hadn't even noticed that he didn't have any socks on. The true reason is that he had so much stuff going on in his head that there was no room for socks or regular every day things.

Unfortunately, not all of Einstein's big discoveries went down in history as good things for example, the atom bomb originated from one of Einstein's ideas, but he never meant for them to be used as a weapon of destruction. Einstein was appalled when he learned that one of his works was being used to kill hundreds of thousands of people. Einstein, nearing the end of his scientific carrier and life, began to observe the stars as a way to pass time with friends, he liked looking at the constellations and at some times making a few of his own.

Albert Einstein, the greatest physicist of all time, died on April 18, 1955. He had internal bleeding and in the week he was preparing a big speech, he died peacefully in his sleep. His brain was salvaged and was studied, but the rest of his remains were cremated and his ashes were scattered. During the study of his brain, scientists found that he used up to 15% more of his brain than an average human. His IQ was estimated to be between 160 and 190, but since it was never determined, it stayed at 160. Although he is dead, the legacy of Albert Einstein will continue.
