“Einstein, showing his tongue” Arthur Sasse, 1951

You can reasonably ask yourself a question: Is this picture really changed the world?
Einstein made the revolution in nuclear physics and quantum mechanics, and this picture changed the attitude both to Einstein and to the scientists as a whole. The fact is that 72-year-old scientist got tired of constant chase of the press, annoying him in Princeton. When he was asked to smile in camera for the hundred time, in stead of smile, he stuck his tongue. This tongue - the tongue of a genius, that’s why this photograph became classic in a moment. Now Albert Einstein stays in our memory as a big original - always and forever!
