Is it true that someone stole albert Einstein's brain?

Yes, after Albert Einstein's death in 1955, a pathologist named Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein's brain during an autopsy without permission from his family. Harvey claimed he was conducting research, but it was later deemed unethical. The brain was eventually returned to Einstein's family.


What is contribution of Einstein?

Albert Einstein is famous because he "invented" the formula E=mc2, he explained the photoelectric effect and because of his theory about general relativity. But some people think that Einstein didn't invent anything. They think he stole these formulas from other scientist. Some authors believe that Marcel Grossman or Mileva Einstein (his wife. She is a mathematician) invented the E=mc2 formula and Einstein stole their idea. Some believe that Einstein stole ideas from Laurent Schwartz. This is maybe true because Einstein was bad at school. In fact, he almost didn't pass his year. If he was so bad at school, how could he invent all these formulas?

Did Thomas Edison steal people's ideas?

Thomas Edison has been accused of taking credit for ideas and inventions that were not his own, leading some to believe that he stole people's ideas. However, it is important to note that the issue of intellectual property rights was not as well-defined during Edison's time, and the concept of plagiarism was not as widely recognized. Edison did collaborate with many inventors and researchers, and it is possible that some of his innovations were inspired by the work of others. Ultimately, the question of whether Edison stole people's ideas is a complex and debated topic among historians and scholars.


Why was Thomas Edison crowned the inventor of the light bulb when he stole the idea?

Thomas Edison invented the a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.He had experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.For additional information about the light bulb - see Related Question below.


How many patents had Thomas Edison made when he died?

1093! - The largest number held by any one person at that time. Today, there are dozens of companies that get more than that number of patents issued in the USA in a single year. Many of Edison' patents were invalid because he stole the ideas, including all of his so-called "light bulb patents", which were stripped by the patent office in 1893.


Number of actual attempts to create light bulb?

I seriously doubt any one will ever know, many men tried, many men failed there is no record of all the hobbyists or half drunken attempts so we can't know for sure. Interesting piece of information; no Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb; he stole literally stole the progress from Sir Hiram Maxim and used his political ties in Paris to halt the Patton process of Maxim while Edison created the light bulb, Maxim did however create the world first modern machine gun from a Henry repeater rifle the machine gun is called the Maxim gun.
