I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere that Einstein didn't want research like this done on his brain... I'll have to look that up and see if I can find it.

I've already read about this and can assure everyone this is a bunch of bull. The scientist who "proved" the difference of Einstein's brain did so with faulty techniques and compared his brain with average run of the mills joes not a good comparison. Look I know this may be hard to believe but Einstein actually had a learning disability he was tossed out of school and failed math. He also had aspergers syndrome Einstein was hampered in the learning deoartment except for the aspergers which is known as the little proffesors syndrome. But look where he got, he rewrote the laws of gravity showed that time was not a constent and that mass and energy are one. I have researched Einstein I have rea...
