So, was Einstein a poor celebrity or a poor scientist, because he was certainly both.
There was a good study that said after geniuses meet success, they quickly lose some talent. Apparently money and women - or one wife - makes them softheaded and somewhat less dedicated to work. I don't know if Einstein fit the pattern, but I bet maybe he wasn't a true celebrity until after he helped blow the world up with nukes... hence he may have been both genius and celebrity, but not at the same time!
