Harvey sliced the brain into 240 blocks and made experiments with some chemical stuff. As a result, he couldn’t find something unusual but kept the pieces with him over the next four decades in two jars eventhough he was kicked from his job at the university. All this time, he just gave a tiny pieces to some researchers. Some of these researchers later claimed that Einstein Brain was working that way because of the high level of glial cells on the left part.

Funny thing is that he didn’t plan to take the brain. He was just a last minute replacement for another doctor in the morgue. In 2007 Harvey died and could kept his secret unpopular until 1978 from mass media. I will not tell where Einstein brain pieces now to motivate you doing a Google research for it, just added a few photos below

Actually, Einstein is not the first person whose brain was preserved. Our mathematical genius Gauss was also one of the most famous victims.

If you want to hear another interesting story about brain preservation, refer to Edward Rullof as well. A talented philologist, continuous criminal and who owned one of the largest brains in history.

A good read about the subject? Here is the journey of Einstein’s brain. Driving Mr. Albert, poor Albert !

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did-and in doing so put at risk everything we know about physics and the fundamental laws of the universe. Most scientists didn’t recognize the import of Hawking’s claims, but Leonard Susskind and Gerard t’Hooft realized the threat, and responded with a counterattack that changed the course of physics. THE BLACK HOLE WAR is the thrilling story of their united effort to reconcile Hawking’s revolutionary theories of black holes with their own sense of reality-effort that would eventually result in Hawking admitting he was wrong, paying up, and Susskind and t’Hooft realizing that our world is a hologram projected from the outer boundaries of space.

Don’t think that you will not understand anything. It is a popular culture science book. Surely not for dummies, but also not for geniuses.

It is truly a masterpiece of Literature for both children and adults. Anyone can read this brilliant story and be entertained and come away with it with some profound insights.

Now, on to the actual story. “The Neverending Story” tells the story of Bastian Balthaazar Bux, an outcast trying to get over the shock of losing his mother. One morning, while running from the local bullies, he ducks into a bookstore. He finds a book there that literally calls out to him. Even though his conscience tries to dissuade him, he steals the book and has the urge to read it right away! What he finds in the book is an adventure most unlike any of the others he is used to finding in books. Things seem SO real! He can practically SEE each character, SMELL the earth, taste the seed cakes, hear the wind, and feel the cold. As things go along, he knows it is silly, but he somehow feels a part of the NeverEnding story….

Although this book was written in the 1980’s, it has definitely stood the test of time. Michael Ende proves himself as one of the top fantasy writers. Like Bastian, you can almost imagine you are there. If you love books like “Chronicles of Narnia,” “Harry Potter,” and “The Princess Bride,” it is a magnificent gift to you from Michael Ende.
