Einstein's Desk Was Worse Than His Hair


This was Albert Einstein's desk at The Princeton Institute when he died in Princeton on April 18, 1955.  He certainly worked on things right up to that day and there are some pretty hefty math equations on his chalkboard. He lived in Princeton for 20 years, so I'll bet that's 20 years of clutter on his desk.

Here's Blog Muse Rob Whiteside's photo of his home at 112 Mercer Street complete with Wrist Band!



His death occurred 50 years after his 1905 paper on Relativity first appeared in print. There are those who still harbor the belief that his cousin and first wife was a coauthor of that paper.  As Sheldon Cooper would say, "Bazinga."
