Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was a German-born Jewish theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of general relativity.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
From 1908 to 1909, while working at a patent office at the University of Bern, Einstein would also draw inspirations to his theory of general relativity.[2] In 1921, Einstein was photographed holding a lecture in the Austrian city of Vienna.[3]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
In 2012, the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek collected details on Einstein's life while Abstergo Industries held him captive at their Animus Project laboratory in Rome. He then hid the information within the Animus 1.28 in Rift puzzles for his successor, Desmond Miles, to find.[3] Sometime in early September,[4] after Lucy Stillman had the Animus 1.28's code copied over to the Animus 2.0[5] and the subsequent 2.01,[6] Desmond solved Clay's puzzle, in which Einstein's photo was excluded from a gallery of children's pictures.[3]
In a November 2013 email from Abstergo Entertainment employee Kama Neron, they suggested exploring non-violent memories, such as someone who worked in the patent office alongside Einstein. However they were shut down by Evan Dean, who thought that "reliving the memories of the guy who sat next to Einstein as he bit his nails while working out the finer details of General Relativity in his head" would not earn back 1/10th of the money that their other products made.[2]
In 2014, the Helix database later described him as the man with the best ability to explain the universe, and that the person who came closest previously was Antoine Lavoisier who was regarded as the greatest chemist of the 18th century.[7]
