Each of these problems had the potential to reveal what Einstein held to be the underlying simplicity of nature.
The snippets add to the transformative value of the basic search, he found, by contributing context: a user seeking books about Einstein's theories who discovers "that a particular book includes 39 usages of 'Einstein,'" he wrote, will conclude he or she can skip that book if the snippets reveal that Einstein "is the name of the author's cat".
Contrary to earlier reports, newly available photographs reveal that Einstein's brain is not spherical in shape.
The letter from the 22-year-old Albert Einstein revealed his delight at fathering a daughter, Lieserl, with his sweetheart, former classmate and future wife, Mileva Marić.
"The new photographs reveal parts of Einstein's brain that have not previously been seen in published images," says Falk. "We have identified most of the external details of his cerebral cortex, [and] the complexity and pattern of convolutions on certain parts of Einstein's cerebral cortex is striking and unusual in comparison to brains from normal individuals".
Work on time, in Einstein's wake, revealed more possibilities.
In the early 1970s, mathematical studies of string theory revealed a striking step toward Einstein's unfulfilled dream of a unified theory — a single theory embracing all forces and all matter.
The discovery and publication in 1987 of an early correspondence between Einstein and Marić revealed that they had had a daughter, called "Lieserl" in their letters, born in early 1902 in Novi Sad where Marić was staying with her parents.
