POP Albert Einstein (Public Domain)

Einstein is a German physicist known to all for the equation E=mc² although his work and discoveries are not only about that! Albert Einstein, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, devoted his life to physics and made great advances in many scientific fields such as quantum mechanics and cosmology.

Considered as one of the greatest scientists, Einstein largely contributed to democratizing science to the general public, both through his discoveries but especially through his character who is the typical image of the old scientist, a genius but a little crazy - gruff but endearing! In fact, he was voted personality of the 20th century by Time magazine, demonstrating the extent to which Einstein went beyond the simple world of scientists... His name is now almost an expression to describe someone as intelligent and his most famous formula is cheerfully hijacked in titles or other slogans.

Although Albert Einstein is considered one of the best in his field, his education was rather disjointed. Indeed, young Albert had difficulty with authority and his teachers often judged him to be giddy and a bad student. But Einstein was simply not cut out for the proposed schooling system, and turned out to be a genius. He developed many of his abilities as an autodidact, driven by his curiosity and intelligence.

What was Einstein's IQ? 160 is the IQ of the most famous scientist. It is not the highest IQ in the world but it is still an exceptional score since above 120 the person is considered to be of superior intelligence but with an IQ above 140, he is a genius. It is this very high IQ that also popularized the expression by which "Einstein" became synonymous with genius!

The Albert Einstein figure represents the scientist when he is already old enough. We find the face and attitude so representative of the old man. His tousled grey hair, his well trimmed moustache and his sheepish look with thick eyebrows are unmistakably reminiscent of Einstein. He wears his grey tie suit and holds in his right hand a slate on which is written his most famous equation "E = MC²". The scientist's attitude gives the impression that he is giving a lecture on science.

Einstein's POP is like the character and reminds us of the physics of a slightly mad genius. Nevertheless, the costume worn by Albert Einstein on this figurine also reminds us of the scientist's coquettish side. The only thing missing is the posture where he sticking out his tongue!
