But the equation comes from a time when all of his great work was done. The real Albert Einstein the high school drop-out who won the Nobel Prize along with the hearts of so many young women was young, handsome, dark haired and a natty dresser. And his greatest piece of work was so poorly understood at the time that the Nobel Committee, who couldn t understand it, but in a panic felt they ought to give him a prize for something, honoured him for something else.
