1. I find it hard to believe that's photoshopped.

He looks absolutely right that way..

2. the wormhole opens with a riff from the Stones!

I can see why Marilyn Monroe had the hots for him.

3. If you've never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend the film "Insignificance"...

.
.
.
... wherein Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Sen Joe McCarthy and Joe
Dimaggio all meet in different combinations in a hotel room (though
the ending is violent and disturbing -- you may not want to watch the
scene with McCarthy and Monroe at the end.
.
At one point, Marilyn Monroe takes TOYS and gets down on the floor
and demonstrates Einstein's Theory of Relativity to him visually --
it's the first and only time I've ever gotten a glimpse of what it
is.
.
They're all only generically identified as "The Scientist", "The
Actress", "The Politician" and "The Ballplayer.
.
Gary Busey is hilarious as Joe Dimaggio, obsessively chewing gum
in the hopes of finding his own baseball card in the package.

It has much to do with Einstein's status as a hardcore pacifist
and McCarthy's persecution of him as such.

4. Reminds me of when I was taking an advanced physics course.

There were two other students in the class with me. The smartest person took an excused absence to interview for a graduate program, while the slowest person had a hangover from the frat party the night before.

The professor (appropriately called Darth Roeder) gave a full lecture to me for a full 75 minutes on the Theory of Relativity. He was writing furiously on the chalkboard and combining about 5-6 algebraic steps as he wrote each line. At the end, he came up with E=MC^3!

It took me a couple of minutes, but I eventually found his math error. I also had the privilege of relating the story to my classmates and let them make copies of my notes that I took that day.
