Einstein's response to fan unearthedSaturday, February 19, 2005 A note containing a mathematical formula written by Albert Einstein given to a fan while the scientist was visiting Japan has been unearthed and will be on display at an event celebrating the centennial of the scientist's most well-known theory.
The note, which dates back to 1922, was written and signed by Einstein in response to a letter he received from Chuji Tsuboi, a 20-year-old physics student of Tokyo Imperial University.
Written on stationery from the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, where Einstein was staying, the note includes an equation from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and a message of friendship.
The paper serves as a testament to the generous personality of the genius, who would not ignore even an unknown student.
