Albert Einstein was the smartest physicist in the world with an IQ of 160. He was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany to Jewish parents. His most famous achievement was the equation E=mc2. After being targeted by Nazis in Germany, Einstein moved to the United States. He died in 1955 from internal bleeding and his brain was stolen by a pathologist named Thomas Harvey, who kept it in his basement for 40 years. Einstein's brain is now stored in pieces at The Mütter Museum.

world. His IQ was 160. He is also known for E=mc²,
the most famous equation. He was born on 14 March 1879, in Ulm, Kingdom of Württemberg, German Empire. His parents were Jewish. However, they were not following Jews. Albert’s father, Hermann Einstein was a featherbed salesman and eventually, he ran into an electrochemical factory with a success. Albert’s former mother, Pauline Koch ran a family household.
