Researchers have long pondered over what factors played a role in making Albert Einstein so clever.
The left and right hemispheres of Albert Einstein's brain were unusually well connected to each other and may have contributed to his brilliance, according to a new study conducted in part by Florida State University evolutionary anthropologist Dean Falk.
"This study, more than any other to date, really gets at the 'inside' of Einstein's brain," Falk said. "It provides new information that helps make sense of what is known about the surface of Einstein's brain."
The study, "The Corpus Callosum of Albert Einstein's Brain: Another Clue to His High Intelligence," was published in the journal Brain. Lead author Weiwei Men of East China Normal University's Department of Physics developed a new technique to conduct the study, which is the first to detail Einstein's corpus callosum, the brain's largest bundle of fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication.
"This technique should be of interest to other researchers who study the brain's all-important internal connectivity," Falk said.

It's been seriously suggested that it was Einstein's wife that was the brains and the inspiration behind his 1905 Special Theory of Relativity. Because of the role of women in society at that time, Einstein himself, who was of course no dunce, may have published it all himself -- and then picked up the ball and ran with it for the rest of his career.
Here's an interesting reference:

Did Einstein's First Wife Secretly Coauthor His 1905 Relativity Paper?
http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/files/84326/773px-Albert_Einstein_and_his_wife_Mileva_Maric.jpg
In the the late 1980s, the American physicist Evan Walker Harris published an article in Physics Today suggesting that Einstein first wife, Mileva Marić, was an unacknowledged coauthor of his 1905 paper on special relativity.
The idea generated considerable controversy at the time, although most physicists and historians of science have rejected it.
Today, Galina Weinstein, a visiting scholar at The Centre for Einstein Studies at Boston University, hopes to settle the matter with a new analysis.
The story begins after Einstein’s death in 1955, when the Soviet physicist Abram Fedorovich Joffe described some correspondence he had with Einstein early in their careers in a article published in Russian.
Joffe had asked Einstein for a preprints of some of his papers and wrote: “The author of these articles—an unknown person at that time, was a bureaucrat at the Patent Office in Bern, Einstein-Marity (Marity the maiden name of his wife, which by Swiss custom is added to the husband’s family name).” (Marity is a Hungarian variant of Marić.)
The conspiracy theories date from this reference to Einstein as Einstein-Marity, says Weinstein. The result was an increasingly complex tangle of deliberate or accidental misunderstandings.
The problem seems to have begun with a popular Russian science writer called Daniil Semenvich Danin, who interpreted Joffe’s account to mean that Einstein and Marić collaborated on the work. This later transformed into the notion that Marić had originally been a coauthor on the 1905 paper but her name was removed from the the final published version.
This is a clear misinterpretation, suggests Weinstein.
Walker reignited this controversy in his Physics Today article. He suggests that Einstein may have stolen his wife’s ideas.
There’s another interesting line for the conspiracy theorists. Historians have translated the letters between Einstein and Marić into English, allowing a detailed analysis of their relationship. However, one of these letters includes the phrase: “bringing our work on relative motion to a successful conclusion!” This seems to back up the idea that the pair must have collaborated.
However, Weinstein has analysed the letters in detail and says that two lines of evidence suggest that this was unlikely. First, Einstein’s letters are full of his ideas about physics while Marić’s contain none, suggesting that he was using her as a sounding board rather than a collaborator.
Second, Marić was not a talented physicist or mathematician. She failed her final examinations and was never granted a diploma.
Weinstein argues that Marić could therefore not have made a significant contribution and quotes another historian on the topic saying that while there is no evidence that Marić was gifted mathematically, there is some evidence that she was not.
There is one fly in the ointment. Marić and Einstein divorced in 1919, but as part of the divorce settlement, Einstein agreed to pay his ex-wife every krona of any future Nobel Prize he might be awarded.
Weinstein suggests that everybody knew Einstein was in line to win the prize and that in the postwar environment in Germany, this was a natural request from a wife who did not want a divorce and was suffering from depression.
Walker, on the other hand, says: “I find it difficult to resist the conclusion that Mileva, justly or unjustly, saw this as her reward for the part she had played in developing the theory of relativity.”
Without more evidence, it’s hard to know one way or the other. But there’s surely enough uncertainty about what actually happened to keep the flames of conspiracy burning for a little while longer.

I couldn't help but notice that the scholar's name is Weinstein.
Here my random thinking processes:
Einstein means one stone in German.
Weinstein means "stone made of wine"...
In other words, an elixir...
After the ordinary 'stone' finished a refinement process, and became
the wine of astonishment'...
All sorts of alchemical associations come to mind....

Didn't most things Einstein say go against the accepted theories of that day ??? Kinda of a the world is round in a world thought to be flat ... if true , I would think the thing that made Einstein so brillant is for starters , he had enough courage to follow his own ideas and thinking , even if it went against the ideas of his peers ... What was it that made Einstein a genius ??? courage ...

Einstein's wife's story of collaboration is one of a number of the stories of talented women associated with men who achieved the very highest standards in their field. My own favourite is Tolstoy's wife who, as well as possibly editing some of his work also copied all his books for publication (some more than once) whilst, as a sideline, she gave birth to (I think 9) children. Now that women have the opportunity to advance to higher education (at least in the West) this sort of scholarly co-operation is more likely to be fully acknowledged--- though Rosalind Franklin would have taken issue with me on that statement!

Whether or not Einstein was "superior" to any of us remains in question.
Certainly his brain was different. He had a missing region on one side of the brain and an enlarged adjacent region, in addition to the enriched corpus callosum.
However, Frank Herbert wisely quipped, "great ability narrows the vision". What he meant was, the researchers may accomplish very amazing things, but sometimes in the end they regret the lack of moral awareness that prompted such research.
Einstein and some of his Manhattan Project friends were very sad later in life due to their part in producing the atomic bomb.
Some of them liked the attention and power, and some of them felt very sick about it.
Smart people tend to admit mistakes and move on, though. It's another thing about Einstein worth noting.
He recognized the evil and admitted it to the public.
It breaks my heart knowing that so many gifted and talented young people are identified and used by the government (and others) in order to manufacture weapons and enslave the masses.
We can keep praying that ND happens and someday these "smart" people will wake up, like each of you is waking up, and see black and white really are different things.
Not just shades of grey, as some cop-outs like to say here... but the truth.

Einstein was a very late bloomer. As a child Einstein was viewed has slow learner.
"Einstein attributed his discovery of the Theory of Relativity not to any special gift but rather to what he called his 'retarded' development. "A normal person never stops to think about problems of space and time" Einstein mused. "These are things which he thought about as a child. But my intellectual development was retarded, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up." The Einstein Factor
According to Wim Wenger, author of the Einstein Factor, Einstein claimed he applied a form of what he called "vague play" to his thought processes. Combining thought loosely with images, feelings, emotion, intuition and signs. This process is likely what contributed to his having so many active connection in his brain.
However, while Einstein was undoubtedly a brilliant man, it seems that in terms of his heart he was greatly lacking. he was apparently a terrible husband and neglectful father.
Here is a list of his demands to his wife:
By 1914, Albert Einstein's marriage to his wife of 11 years, Mileva Marić, was fast deteriorating. Realising there was no hope for their relationship on a romantic level, Einstein proposed that they remain together for the sake of their children, but only if she agree to the following list of conditions.
Mileva accepted them, but to no avail. A few months later, she left her husband in Berlin and moved, with their sons, to Zurich. They eventually divorced in 1919, having lived apart for five years.

What's really creepy about Einstein's name to me is, "One Stone"...
"I am as a stone who fell from Heaven". Can anyone tell me who said that and what he believed in?
Also, can anyone tell me about Castle Furstenstein?
Return to castle Furstenstein and you will see it all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Riese
The Hochberg family owned the castle until 1941. It was a part of the Project Riese until 1945. The castle was occupied by the Red army in 1945. All artifacts were lost or destroyed.
Riese [ˈʁiːzə] (German for "giant") is the code name for the construction project of Nazi Germany, started, and left unfinished, in the Owl Mountains and Książ Castle in 1943-45. It consists of seven complexes of the underground military facilities located in Lower Silesia, previously Germany, now territory of Poland.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone
The Black Stone (Arabic: الحجر الأسود al-Ḥajar al-Aswad) is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient stone building toward which Muslims pray, in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve.[1]
“I am, then, a stone which fell from heaven, from a broken crown, an exile in this world, a pilgrim of longing, an acolyte of the God of the losers, a member of the circle of Lucifer, a warrior of the order of the Morning Star, a Guardian of Dawn, a walker of the Dawn.” - Miguel Serrano
Romans 2:1
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
John 8:7
King James Bible
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
That is my big problem with Einstein and his backers.
They cast the first stone and they were not without sin.

Epic post, OP! Some of us were talking about Vrill-Odin, BlackSun, Icecube Neutrino Observatory, Antarctica and the Ross Dependency struggle with Russia, and the idea that Nazi bases might exist at the Paraguay and Antarctic aquifers, as strange as it may sound -- just a couple days ago -- maybe yesterday, in fact! Maybe that is some proof for you guys that this stuff is serious business!
Projekt Riese is a good thing to keep in mind when you are researching what happened to Hitler's junk. The allies and Russians only found about half the tunnels and almost no stuff.
Also look up Schloss-Furstenstein castle space program and remember the litany recited by SS and their friends: "I am as a stone who fell from Heaven" (Nazi satanist litany quoted by Miguel Serrano!).
Third Reich projekt die Glocke was no joke! People shouldn't be laughing about it, either. Even apes can smile.
And to make it all sound stranger, yet closer to the truth, keep in mind that Admiral Byrd's alleged encounter with the Nazi aircraft was the SAME YEAR as the Roswell Incident -- 1947-- also the same year the AIR FORCE and CIA were made. You should research Lilly Pad bases and why a separate command from the ARMY was needed in the first place.
Something about it doesn't smell right -- Nazi spacecraft sabotaging key missions in 1947, and the Air Force is formed? Was there a war we never even knew about all this time, or are the Nazis just protecting their free energy experiments and some of the nastier lab work with genetics etc.?
I am a complete believer in the existence of capable, practical, ingenuitive and evil Nazi science applications.
That is why I feel so GOOD whenever I see a Simon Wiesenthal Center discovery/arrest in the news.
I also find it interesting that due to the work of a novel writer named Forsyth, the Wiesenthal people caught a real live Nazi fugitive in Paraguay.
Some of you might be fellow CERN bashers with me. I found it disgusting that Hitler's top nuclear scientist headed CERN for so many years after the war ended. Read about URANVEREIN. Uranium Club.
Think about the great deception of Einstein and his claims about "nothing exceeding light speed".
The bomb was the Nazi's gift to us in exchange for leaving their space program alone, I am starting to think.
Not to mention the possibility that the LHCs are in fact weapon-capable.
Hope we all wake up in the morning LOL

Think about the Van Allen belts.
Think about the shape of the earth's magnetic field.
Is the magnetic field frying us earthlings? It's certainly intense enough --
But because it comes from the frozen poles of our planet and arcs out into space, safely away from us humans,
it's "harmless" until we try to fly through it, or pass unshielded through the field.
An aircraft can also use this exact model (planetary model of electromagnetic gravity affectation), when it is projecting a magnetic field, the field must be large enough to account for the "safe zone" needed by the crew and craft. I.e. the field is shaped like a "bubble" with a non ionized interior, just like the field around earth.
Flying saucers and Nazi Bell-based craft, like the Vrill ODin and those things, would have had major radiation problems and lots of plasma explosions before the bugs were ironed out. They probably fried some ground technicians too (just google it lol). But once they perfected the process of exciting the plasma and producing a field of the right shape and size, the issue of damaging the occupants became less intense and the possibilities more exciting.
Of course you realize that "propulsion based space travel" is inferior to quantum leaps, which are also possible but harder to understand (yet easier on the traveler!).
EDIT: but about the Israelis having a radar buster or ghost projection, scrambler, whatever you wanna call it...
Kind of cool! One of those toys that doesn't come out of the closet much I hope...

Felix Warburg of the banking family once told Einstein: "everything is relative except relatives, and they, alas, are constant".
That would rule out the missus, so instead of killing one bird with two Einsteins the brain storm got downgraded to ‘two hemispheres are better than one’.

Here's what The Law of One (http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?q=einstein) has to say about Einstein:
17.8 Questioner: Then was the Confederation responsible for Earth receiving nuclear power?
Ra: I am Ra. It is a point which one cannot judge. What is cause? The basic equation which preceded this work was an equation brought through by a Wanderer dedicated to service to the planet. That this work should have become foundation for instruments of destruction was not intended and was not given.
17.9 Questioner: Can you tell me who that Wanderer was that brought through the equation?
Ra: I am Ra. This information seems harmless as this entity is no longer of your planetary third density. This entity was named, sound vibration complex, Albert.
26.20 Questioner: Thank you. In the recent past of the last thirty to forty years the UFO phenomena has become known to our population. What was the original reason for— I know there’ve been UFOs throughout history, but what was the original reason for the increase in what we call UFO activity say in the past forty years?
Ra: I am Ra. Information which Confederation sources had offered to your entity, Albert [Einstein], became perverted, and instruments of destruction began to be created, examples of this being the Manhattan Project and its product.
Information offered through Wanderer, sound vibration, Nikola [Tesla], also being experimented with for potential destruction: example, your so-called Philadelphia Experiment.
Thus, we felt a strong need to involve our thought-forms in whatever way we of the Confederation could be of service in order to balance these distortions of information meant to aid your planetary sphere.

Einstein was 'out of step' with the REAL Thinkers of his time - Steinmetz, Tesla and just about Every contributor to the emerging sciences at the turn of the last century (1900).
However, the 'gravitational model' of the Universe was the Preferred model promoted by tptw, as to acknowledge the Electric Model would open up the World to a Reality they sought to suppress. This is why Einstein was supported and eulogized, while Tesla was sidelined and disenfranchised. Gravity is Not the 'mover and shaker' of our Universe...
To learn more about WHO actually created the true basis of our 'science', and, more importantly, What they Really Thought about (in particular, Einstein's theories), I suggest this 3 hr video of a presentation given by Eric Dollard:

If more people had the courage to exercise their own minds, then we will have a lot more Einstein’s in the world. Everyone has the mental capacity to be a genius. Regrettably, many of us are so conditioned to fail, that the bulk of us will hardly know of this. We are trained to follow, so much so that we consistently follow known lies, follow and believe in ideologies that have never been thoroughly taken apart and put back together.
Imo, the great thinkers/inventors are people who stayed committed to understanding their own thoughts. They hardly let others convince them of being inept just because of deferring views. They realized that if an idea forms in the head it will manifest at some point if giving enough intent/focus. Everything in our reality came from focused thoughts (everything). First they are just scattered incoherent thoughts/ideas within the head. But the steady attention to "said" idea eventually creates attention to detail…soon the idea starts to make sense (because of the focus). Next stop for the thought is reality. How else will this work?
This is why it is so very important for people to learn how to think for self, be creative, and form your own ideas. If you are constantly letting others mode your mind then your reality can only be of those that have fashioned your mind.
Just imagine how many people went to their graves believing the world was flat (without investigation), and how many people died believing the world was at the center of the solar system (without investigation). Even though neither theory, or our current theories can actually be proven today by the "common person"…it’s still a great example of how most of us take what others think and make them our own thoughts… with little to no personal investigation. This is a hugh error in our ways...
Einstein, imo had the courage to go against the thoughts of the trained majority and their mind manipulators, imagine if he didn't. I’m glad he stayed focused so he could bring his own views into perspective…it’s just unfortunate that many others were/are discourage to expand on his knowledge or venture off into another direction with his knowledge. Ever wonder why?
The mind can form infinite ideas, but it takes focus to bring them into reality, and if you have support (be it spouse or a mass of followers)…the manifestation will be all that much quicker.
So, with that said…be mindful of what others are attempting to put into your mindset...what comes out of it you may not really want to be a part of. And the unpleasant realities shouldn't be of any surprise. Look around at the world and see all the nonsense we made together as a collective…isn't it strange how many of us don’t even want what we have to deal with?….now how did this happen? Hmmm…
