Albert Einstein

From Slackerpedia Galactica

Albert Einstein was Germany's greatest World War II export. A Jewish physicist who decided the Nazis had just pissed him off one too many times, he emigrated to the United States where he exacted his revenge by encouraging the United States to develop the atom bomb thereby winning World War II. Totalitarian regimes take note! Do not piss of your scientists, or you'll pay!

Einstein is best known for developing the Theory of Relativity whereby he revolutionized physics more than anyone since Newton. But did he win a Nobel Prize in physics for that? Of course not. Apparently the Nobel Committee found the photoelectric effect far sexier. Sometimes there's just no accounting for taste.

While a scientist of great renown, Einstein didn't win any fashion prizes for his hair or serious, scientist-like photographs.
