In 1905, the renowned physicist Albert Einstein advanced his "Theory of Relativity", which included the most famous equation in history: E=mc². This contradicted Isaac Newton's established assertion that time, space and mass were uniform, unchangeable. Instead, Einstein proposed that these three forces could be malleable due to one's changing perspective. One example the German-born physicist enjoyed using was that of an elevator falling within an infinitely tall building. To the elevator's passengers, it would seem as though they were in perfect stillness and those sights of the outside world were flying at extraordinary speeds, rather than the contrary. For over a century, collectors have been fascinated with the mind of Einstein and offered here is an X-Ray photo of Einstein. Measuring 12 x 10 inches, this X-Ray features a frontal view of Einstein's brain. As a point of reference on value, the same X-Ray image offered here, plus the side image of Einstein sold at auction in 2010 for $32,000. This item comes with a LOA from Todd Mueller Autographs.
