Albert Einstein
This article needs to be updated.

First mentions in The Chase and The Daemons, other than in Shada, are missing. And where's anything about the Theory of Relativity?

These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.

Albert Einstein was a renowned scientist of the 20th century.

Encounters with the Doctor

The Fourth Doctor claimed to have met Einstein. (TV: The Stones of Blood)

In the 1940s, the Rani 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 his TARDIS in order to bring him back to his right time; the curiosity of the scientist was aroused by the console room. (TV: Time and the Rani)

The Eighth Doctor mentioned knowing Einstein. (PROSE: 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)

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 Daleks. Einstein also left his bicarbonated processing machine somewhere in the TARDIS.

While working on a malfunctioning 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 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)

The Eleventh Doctor later said he liked Einstein, as he was a bow tie wearer. (TV: A Night with the Stars)

Other references

Einstein in the TARDIS. (TV: Time and the Rani)

In 1979, Kerensky tried to quote Einstein to answer-back Count Scarlioni's requests. (TV: City of Death)

Peri Brown said, "You don't need to be Albert Einstein to find the off switch" of the Master's control box, conveying she was able to. (TV: Planet of Fire)

The Sixth Doctor used the alias "Albert Einstein" when meeting with Charles Darwin in the Galapagos Islands in 1835. (AUDIO: Bloodtide)

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

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

When Mr Smith was about to self-destruct, Clyde Langer asked Luke Smith what would Einstein do. Rani Chandra reminded Clyde that Einstein "didn't have an alien computer in his room that turns into a bomb". (TV: Prisoner of the Judoon)

In 2010 London, the Tenth Doctor discussed about Einstein's Theory with Spike and other boys whose brains were enhanced by the alien Brainy Crisps. (PROSE: 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) He mentioned Einstein as one of humanity's finest minds who had been drawn to Prague. (COMIC: The Broken Man) He once defined himself "a time traveler with an IQ as big as Einstein's quantum pants". (COMIC: The One)
