What Happened to Albert Einstein's Brain
- 6 years ago
On April 17 1955, Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of his heart Artery.
He was suddenly taken to the Hospital where doctors said that a surgery can save his life. But Einstein denied the surgery by saying, "I want to go when I want. I've played my part, It's time to go."
Only a few people knw that his brain was stolen by a Thomas Harvey, who kept it in jars in his basement for 40 years. After 4 decades, Harvey showed up & gave the brain to scientists. Overall 46 pieces of his brain were acquired. Currently it is preserved in Mütter Museum
