00:00We all know that Einstein was a genius, so much so that his brain would work more than a thousand scientists.
00:07Things which we never thought of, let alone understand Einstein, worked on those things and made it easy for the whole world.
00:16Albert Einstein was a physicist who published the theory of special relativity, E equals mc squared,
00:23and formulating the photoelectric laws, and left the world surprised, and therefore he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
00:33Seeing his extraordinary thinking and understanding power, people believed that Einstein had an extraordinary brain,
00:41which was quite different from ordinary human.
00:44Einstein too knew this, and therefore he didn't want his body to be researched upon after his demise.
00:50Rather, he had instructed his body to be cremated.
00:54But the same happened what Einstein was afraid of.
00:58April 1955, when Einstein died in Princeton Hospital, the doctor came to perform the autopsy,
01:06stole Einstein's brain secretly, because he was curious to know what's there inside the brain of this genius.
01:15Once again, welcome to our channel.
01:18The doctor who stole Einstein's brain was Dr. Thomas Harvey, who was more interested in studying this brain than facing the consequences.
01:28When the Princeton Hospital came to know about this incident, they fired him.
01:33But Dr. Harvey was successful in pursuing Hans Albert to give him permission to research upon his father's brain
01:40and let the world know about it.
01:43From that day, a long journey started for that brain.
01:48Dr. Harvey was a pathologist who knew only about post-mortem.
01:53And that's why he believed that he would be able to research this genius's brain.
01:59But the situation was that Dr. Harvey lost his job in Princeton Hospital,
02:04and also the designation of a pathologist.
02:07Dr. Harvey took Einstein's brain to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
02:12where he took a lot of photos of the brain and cut them into 240 small pieces.
02:18And preserving every piece in separate jars, he hid all of them in his basement.
02:25Because of this, he had arguments with his wife,
02:29as his wife used to threaten him that she will throw this brain outside.
02:33The arguments eventually lead to divorce.
02:37And Dr. Harvey went Wichita, Kansas, with the brain,
02:41where he started working as a medical supervisor.
02:44And here in his free time, he tried to study Einstein's brain.
02:49After that, he frequently switched jobs and moved to different cities with the brain.
02:55Even after many years, Dr. Harvey couldn't do any solid research on Einstein's brain.
03:00Instead, his medical license was canceled.
03:05And the situation was so bad for him that he had to start working in a plastics factory.
03:10At the time, he made a good decision to send different pieces of the brain
03:14to the best neurologist of the world for detailed research.
03:18And he did that.
03:2030 years after the brain was stolen first time in 1985,
03:24a study was published on Einstein's brain.
03:27For the next 28 years, many neurologists have published several studies on this genius's brain,
03:35in which it was found that Einstein's brain was quite different from the ordinary human brain.
03:40The biggest difference was found in the corpus callosum part.
03:45Now it is important to know that human brain is divided into two parts.
03:49Whatever work a human does, it is processed in one part,
03:53and then brain sends signal to that part of the body.
03:56Left brain controls the right portion of the body,
03:59whereas right brain controls the left portion of the body.
04:03And for 90%, human's left brain is responsible for speech,
04:07understanding, mathematical calculations, and writing.
04:11Whereas the right brain is responsible for creativity,
04:15understanding of shapes, art, and music.
04:18Now you must be thinking,
04:20then what is the work of corpus callosum?
04:24Imagine you are typing on the keyboard or mobile phone,
04:27and while doing this, both our hands are busy typing.
04:31Left hand is typing some alphabets,
04:33and the right hand is also doing the same.
04:37During typing, your left hand made a mistake,
04:40and you quickly used your right hand to erase that mistake.
04:43That means that when your right brain committed a mistake,
04:47it rectified the mistake by signaling the left brain.
04:51The link through which both halves of the brain are connected
04:54is called corpus callosum,
04:57and Einstein's corpus callosum was larger than ordinary humans.
05:01That means his left brain and the right brain had a strong connection,
05:06because of which Einstein could imagine complex problems and situations.
05:11Apart from the difference in corpus callosum,
05:14Einstein's brain's pattern was also quite different from others,
05:19and researchers believe that it was the reason for good neuron flow.
05:23Good flow of neurons means that he had great power for mathematical calculations.
05:28Albert Einstein had the power of solving complex mathematical problems in his head
05:34without using pen and paper.
05:36According to a research paper,
05:38another reason for having a high number of neurons
05:41was that when Einstein's brain was weighted,
05:44it was 1,230 grams,
05:47whereas it is 1,400 grams for normal human beings.
05:52Researchers believe that his brain's lining was quite thin,
05:55because of which it contains more neurons.
05:58But the biggest question was,
06:00if Einstein was born with such a special brain,
06:03or there were changes afterwards.
06:05After researching it was found that,
06:09when Einstein was born,
06:10he started speaking after the age of five,
06:13whereas other children start speaking at the age of two or three.
06:17Even after he started speaking,
06:19he didn't like to speak much and remained lost in his own thoughts.
06:24He had less memorizing power.
06:27And not only that,
06:28he find it difficult to memorize simple multiplication table.
06:32He was master in processing maths and number in logical ways,
06:37rather memorizing them.
06:39In his school life,
06:41although he failed in other subjects,
06:43but he excelled in mathematics and science.
06:46When Albert Einstein was 12 years old,
06:49a family teacher left his geometry book in Einstein's house.
06:54Surprisingly,
06:55Einstein read that book in one day
06:57and cleared his geometric concepts.
07:01Not only that,
07:02he became master of integral and differential calculus
07:05at the age of 14.
07:08His grip on maths and science was so strong
07:10that professors used to become nervous
07:13when he used to raise his hands for asking questions,
07:17because often Einstein's questions were difficult
07:20for even teachers to understand.
07:23From a very young age,
07:24he wanted to encapsulate the laws of the universe
07:27in a small equation.
07:30And this became his life's mission.
07:33At the age of 26,
07:35Einstein published four research papers
07:37and made the world surprised.
07:39And therefore,
07:40he was given PhD degree
07:42and awarded Nobel Prize
07:44for playing outstanding role for humanity.
07:47Without Einstein's theses,
07:49science is incomplete.
07:51Many doctors and scientists came to the conclusion
07:54that Einstein's brain became special after his birth.
07:59The biggest reason behind it was,
08:01when he couldn't find an answer to his questions,
08:04he tried to find answers with the help of his brain.
08:07Doing so,
08:08from a young age,
08:10specially developed his brain.
08:12Today,
08:13Einstein's brain is kept in America's
08:16the Mutter Museum,
08:17which are preserved with great care
08:20in microscopic slides.
