Someone remembers the event to recognize a true Albert Einstein up to the early 1990s?

Anyone remembers the Nobel Prize to recognize true Albert Einstein?
Does someone remember there existed a Nobel Prize posted in Sweden which was posted till the early 1990s, the Nobel Prize to recognize the true Albert Einstein? Albert Einstein in the textbook was found or believed to steal the identity of this person. There was even a model of the hands placed in the San Jose Convention Center in California to wait for this person. The rule was if anyone touched the statues of the hands and the bell rang, then that person was a match or recognized as a true Albert Einstein. The Nobel Prize was posted in Sweden till 1992. Anyone recalls this? This was very popular till the early 1990s. If it was withdrawn, then who and why did they withdraw it?

If Albert Einstein did not steal the identity of the true Albert Einstein, then why did Sweden or America or the world want to recognize a true Albert Einstein. I think the professionals, or elders remember this because this was very popular. They mentioned that on the US radio up to 1992.

What I ask is only top professors or US Presidents know. But the event which was organized in San Jose Convention Center to wait or recognize a true Albert Einstein was true or real which was up to 1992. Don’t someone remember this? For example, history recorded that the Scientist Niels Bohr died long time ago. But that was wrongly reported. For protection of his identity History purposely recorded for his false death. But Niels Bohr was found to be alive till 1992 and he knew about the event in San Jose Convention Center to recognize a true Albert Einstein too. Indeed, he could have been the true inventor of Einstein’s Theory.
Only top professors or top US government officials know about this.

Wow, I had forgotten about this until now.

You’re right, there was a conspiracy theory or hoax that was going around in the 1970s, back when I was a kid, similar to Elvis, that the real Albert Einstein wasn’t the guy everyone thought he was. And there was something about a statue and a bell. This was back before the Internet, so the legend died a peaceful death.

I think the whole gist of this legend is that like Elvis, Einstein was larger than life, a hero, more than a regular person. And like Elvis, larger than life stories circulated about his life and his death.

To answer your question, I do have a vague memory of this legend, but there was never a Nobel Prize to this effect. The more current Einstein legend is that Einstein plagarized Special Relativity. But like most legends, careful analysis of his complete work dispels this theory, in my opinion.

Neils Bohr is accepted to have died in 1962. The theory that he lived until 1992 would have made him 107 years old. Of course some people do live to 107 years old, but it is wildly unlikely.

Part of this legend may be credited to the mid 1950s and the Cuban Missile Crisis during Stalin’s tenure. It was close to the time of both Einstein’s death, Bohr’s death and Bertrand Russel’s rise to international fame. It was probably the first time in modern history that scientists became common household names.

A little history of this time can be found here …

Athough I think these legends are wrong, I also think that they are wonderful in that they involve an element of fantasy about science and scientists. It’s fun to think that people are getting as excited about science as they are about entertainment and politics.
