Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a renowned scientist of the 20th century. According to the First Doctor, there was "none more famous". (PROSE: The Long Step Backward)

Einstein was best known for devising his Theory of relativity. (TV: Four to Doomsday) The Doctor called the theory "absurd", and said he'd "tr[ied] to explain the realities to poor old Albert, but he would insist that he knew best." (TV: The Stones of Blood)

Sherman thought that Einstein came close to the theory of time travel, but lost it with the "three rivers" theory. (AUDIO: The Way Forwards)

History
In 1905, Albert Einstein came up with the mathematical scientific conclusion of E=MC². (TV: The Lie of the Land)

From 1911 to 1912, Einstein held the position of professor of theoretical physics at Charles University in Prague. (PROSE: The Long Step Backward)

The Fourth Doctor claimed to have met Einstein. (TV: The Stones of Blood)

At some point, Einstein had a non-denominational wedding, officiated by the Doctor. As the Thirteenth Doctor recalled, Einstein's parents did not approve of the union. (TV: Demons of the Punjab)

Einstein worked with other scientists at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin, Germany. However, by January 1933, he had left Germany and travelled to the United States of America in response to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. (AUDIO: The Alchemists)

In the 1940s, kidnapped Einstein and brought him to Lakertya so that his genius could be used to help create her time brain. Afterwards, the Seventh Doctor boarded him on his TARDIS in order to bring him back to his right time; the curiosity of the scientist was aroused by the console room, and the Doctor promised to his old friend that he would "explain how it work[ed] later". (TV: Time and the Rani)

The Eighth Doctor mentioned knowing Einstein. (PROSE: The Eye of the Tyger)

The Eleventh Doctor once claimed to have attended a party at Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge with Einstein and Father Christmas. He produced a photograph of them as proof. (TV: A Christmas Carol)

Other encounters between Einstein and the Eleventh Doctor included Einstein trying to steal the Doctor's TARDIS and having his toothbrush taken by the Doctor and "exterminated" by the Daleks. Einstein also left his bicarbonated processing machine somewhere in the TARDIS.

While working on a malfunctioning time machine of his own in 1945, Einstein was accidentally brought onboard the TARDIS in an accident involving the TARDIS console and the Doctor's new fez (which Einstein had been the original owner of) along with his fez and a flask of experimental liquid which he hoped was bionic fusion liquid. Einstein was momentarily transformed into an Ood by his liquid, before being changed back and returned home by the Doctor; the mishap had resulted in Einstein's hair standing on end, a look which the Doctor recommended he keep as "more sciencey". (TV: Death Is the Only Answer)

The Eleventh Doctor later said he liked Einstein, as he was a bow tie wearer. (TV: A Night with the Stars)
