Albert Einstein

This photo of Einstein is believed to have been taken near his home in Princeton, New Jersey — where he worked at the Institute for Advanced Study until his death — about a month before his passing. He lived there with his second wife (who died in 1936), her daughter, and his secretary. Creepy fact: the professor’s brain was removed during the autopsy without his family’s permission so it could be studied by neuroscientists who hoped to discover the secret of Einstein’s intelligence.
