At last, you now have a chance to meet the late, great Albert Einstein and
get a piece of his mind.
Well, not exactly, but pieces of his brain will be on public
display at the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, where
Lucy Rorke-Adams has given some 46 slides of Einstein’s brain for the public to
enjoy.
Ms. Rorke-Adams, 82, is a neuropathologist who for the past
47 years has worked at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, attests that
Einstein’s brain looks pretty youthful for someone who died at 76 (1955, when I
was 11 years old).
Most of his brain resides at the University Medical Center
in Princeton. That’s where the post-mortem autopsy of the man I regard as a
member of Homo superius was
conducted.
One of these days, I’m going to have to read what he said
about relativity. I’d like to know more about my relations.
