The Funny Side Of Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is widely recognized as one of the most brilliant scientists of all time, but what many people don’t know is that he also had a playful sense of humor. In 1951, on his 72nd birthday, photographer Arthur Sasse was tasked with taking a photo of Einstein, who was growing increasingly impatient with the process.
As Sasse pleaded with Einstein to smile for the camera, the physicist stuck out his tongue in a gesture that has become an iconic image of the man. The photo captures Einstein’s whimsical side and serves as a reminder that even the most serious of geniuses can have a sense of humor.
