Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a German-American physicist (PROSE: The Universal Databank [+]Loading...["The Universal Databank (reference book)"]) and renowned scientist of the 20th century. According to the First Doctor, there was "none more famous". (PROSE: The Long Step Backward)

Einstein was best known for devising his theory of relativity. (TV: 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)

Sherman thought that Einstein came close to the theory of time travel, but lost it with the "three rivers" theory. (AUDIO: The Way Forwards)

Einstein's name was often used as a comparison for intelligence. (TV: The Chase, Planet of Fire)

After Sir Isaac Newton came Dr Albert Einstein; after Einstein came Dr Who.[statement unclear] (PROSE: Who is Dr Who?)
