| '''Albert Einstein''' was a renowned [[scientist]] of the [[20th century]]. According to the [[First Doctor]], there was "none more famous". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Long Step Backward (short story)|The Long Step Backward]]'')
| |
| | |
| Einstein was best known for devising his [[Theory of relativity]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday (TV story)|Four to Doomsday]]'') [[The Doctor]] called the theory "absurd", and said he'd "tr[ied] to explain the realities to poor old Albert, but he would insist that he knew best." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stones of Blood (TV story)|The Stones of Blood]]'')
| |
| | |
| [[Sherman Pegg|Sherman]] thought that Einstein came close to the theory of [[time travel]], but lost it with the "three rivers" theory. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Way Forwards (audio story)|The Way Forwards]]'')

| | |
| == History ==
| |
| In the early [[1900s]], Einstein lived in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]], with his fiancée, [[Mileva Einstein|Mileva]]. They had a daughter together, [[Lieserl Einstein|Lieserl]], who was born outside wedlock. Because of the stigma attached to her birth, they were made to give Lieserl away. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Einstein and the Doctor (short story)|Einstein and the Doctor]]'')
| |
| | |
| Later, Einstein married Mileva in a non-denominational [[wedding]], officiated by the [[Fourth Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Einstein and the Doctor (short story)|Einstein and the Doctor]]'') As the Thirteenth Doctor recalled, Einstein's parents did not approve of the union, ([[TV]]: ''[[Demons of the Punjab (TV story)|Demons of the Punjab]]'') as his mother [[Pauline Einstein|Pauline]] wanted him to marry a nice [[Germany|German]] girl. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Einstein and the Doctor (short story)|Einstein and the Doctor]]'')
| |
| | |
| In [[1905]], Albert Einstein came up with the mathematical scientific conclusion of [[E=MC²]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'')
| |
| | |
| From [[1911]] to [[1912]], Einstein held the position of [[professor]] of [[theoretical physics]] at [[Charles University in Prague]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Long Step Backward (short story)|The Long Step Backward]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Fourth Doctor]] claimed to have met Einstein. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stones of Blood (TV story)|The Stones of Blood]]'')
| |
| | |
| Einstein worked with other scientists at the [[Kaiser Wilhelm Institute]] in [[Berlin]], [[Germany]]. However, in [[December]] [[1932]], he left Germany and travelled to the [[United States of America]] in response to the rise of [[Adolf Hitler]] and the [[Nazi]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Alchemists (audio story)|The Alchemists]]'')
| |
| | |
| In the [[1940s]], {{O'Mara}} kidnapped Einstein and brought him to [[Lakertya]] so that his genius could be used to help create her [[time brain]]. Afterwards, the [[Seventh Doctor]] boarded him on [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] in order to bring him back to his right time; the curiosity of the scientist was aroused by the [[console room]], and the Doctor promised to his old friend that he would "explain how it work[ed] later". ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Eighth Doctor]] mentioned knowing Einstein. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eye of the Tyger (novel)|The Eye of the Tyger]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Eleventh Doctor]] once claimed to have attended a party at [[Frank Sinatra]]'s hunting lodge with Einstein and [[Father Christmas]]. He produced a photograph of them as proof. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'')
| |
| | |
| Other encounters between Einstein and the Eleventh Doctor included Einstein trying to steal [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] and having his toothbrush taken by the Doctor and "exterminated" by the [[Dalek]]s. Einstein also left his bicarbonated processing machine somewhere in the TARDIS.
| |
| | |
| While working on a malfunctioning [[Einstein's time machine|time machine of his own]] in [[1945]], Einstein was accidentally brought onboard the TARDIS in an accident involving the TARDIS console and the Doctor's new [[fez]] (which Einstein had been the original owner of) along with his fez and [[Einstein's liquid|a flask of experimental liquid]] which he hoped was [[bionic fusion liquid]]. Einstein was momentarily transformed into an [[Ood]] by his liquid, before being changed back and returned home by the Doctor; the mishap had resulted in Einstein's hair standing on end, a look which the Doctor recommended he keep as "more sciencey". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death Is the Only Answer (TV story)|Death Is the Only Answer]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Eleventh Doctor later said he liked Einstein, as he was a [[bow tie]] wearer. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Night with the Stars (TV story)|A Night with the Stars]]'')

| A bust of Albert Einstein existed in the [[Dalek City]] on [[Skaro]], among other [[Earth]] artifacts, in the days of the [[Golden Emperor]], when [[Jeff Stone]] explored the City. The plaque stated that Einstein's theories had been stolen from "[[Dalek]] [[cosmology]]". It is worth noting that the Daleks also credited the authorship of [[William Shakespeare]]'s plays and sonnets, as well as the invention of the [[Wright Flyer]], to themselves.

| [[Chris Parsons]] told the Doctor that he didn't believe they just travelled hundreds of light-years, since according to Einstein, it was impossible to travel faster than light. The Doctor replied that he had a lot to unlearn. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Shada (novelisation)|Shada]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shada (audio story)|Shada]]'', [[WC]]: ''[[Shada (webcast)|Shada]]'')

| Some compared the child prodigy, [[Nathan Goss]], to Einstein, while others believed his potential exceeded Einstein. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lost Boy (TV story)|The Lost Boy]]'') [[Luke Smith]] could spot flaws in Einstein's theory of relativity. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Boy (novelisation)|The Lost Boy]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran (TV story)|The Last Sontaran]]'')

| In [[2010]] [[London]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] discussed about Einstein's Theory with [[Spike (Code of the Krillitanes)|Spike]] and other boys whose brains were enhanced by the alien [[Brainy Crisps]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Code of the Krillitanes (novel)|Code of the Krillitanes]]'')
| |
| | |
| The [[Eleventh Doctor]] used Einstein as an example of great people who had [[dyslexia]] in order to encourage [[Elliot Northover]] to continue trying. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Hungry Earth (TV story)|The Hungry Earth]]'') He mentioned Einstein as one of humanity's finest minds who had been drawn to [[Prague]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Broken Man (comic story)|The Broken Man]]'') He once defined himself "a time traveler with an IQ as big as Einstein's quantum pants". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The One (comic story)|The One]]'')

| | |
| After the [[Monk (species)|Monks]] took over [[Earth]] they began altering people's memories so that it looked as if they had always been there. Amongst altered history was Einstein's conclusion of [[E=MC²]] to make it look like the Monks helped him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'')

| |
| * [[Jim Norton]] played a holographic version of Einstein in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''.
| |
| * In ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'', the sentient alien [[computer]] [[Gus (Mummy on the Orient Express)|Gus]] had gathered some of the most intelligent geniuses on [[Earth]] on a [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|space Orient Express]]. One of which greatly resembled Albert Einstein.
| |
| ** But whether he is supposed to be the same or not is unknown.
