Talk:Mad scientist

Albert Einstein

I read 'the proverbial somewhere' that Albert Einstein's hair was co-opted into the image of the Mad Scientist. Anna Livia (talk) 16:51, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

This is actually touched on, briefly, at Romanticism. Einstein hair is basically the same as Beethoven hair. - Smerdis of Tlön, ^{LOAD "*", 8, 1.} 03:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Well, according to a book I read, Einstein was a cartoonist's dream as he fitted neatly into the stereotypical image of a scientist. Nerd (talk) 03:54, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
