Question
what happened to einsteins brain after he died?
○ he donated it to science
○ it was buried with him when he died
○ its on display in a museum in israel
○ nobody knows
When Einstein died, his brain was removed and donated for scientific research (by the pathologist who performed the autopsy, Thomas Harvey, with the intention of studying it for scientific purposes). The option "It was buried with him" is incorrect as his brain was not buried with his body. The option about display in an Israeli museum is incorrect (his brain was not on display there; his body's ashes were scattered, and the brain was used for research). "Nobody knows" is also incorrect as we know what happened to his brain. So the correct option is the one stating he donated it to science.
