This is the story and truth behind the most popular Einstein picture of all time!

Why Einstein appears with his tongue hanging out in that famous photo? There is a truth? Now look at the story of how it all happened!

       Of course this isn’t the real story, so what really happened? Well according to john saber this is what happened! In honor of Einstein’s 72nd birthday, friends and colleagues met at the Princeton Club for a celebration on the night of March 14, 1951 – which was both heavy on merriment and press photographers.

When his birthday celebration was over that night, Einstein was pretty tired. So he patiently posed for the photographers. Eventually a friend offered to drive him to his home and they left the building. But as the Professor entered the car, the news cameramen Art Sasse rushed up to make ‘just one more picture’ and he kind of loudly asked: ‘Ya, Proffesor, shmile our birthday picture, Ya?’ And as Sasse states: ‘he turns around and stuck his tongue out, and I made my shot.‘

  Eventually the photo has since become a cultural icon, which Einstein liked so much that he ordered nine prints made, and used it to adorn greeting cards.

So there you have it, a pretty amazing story behind the most popular Einstein picture of all time!
