Albert Einstein/YMMV


 * Epileptic Trees: Research revealed that Einstein had a third child (a daughter, Lieserl), whose fate is unknown (she possibly died from scarlet fever at a young age). You can guess what followed.
 * Memetic Mutation: e=mc^2
 * Old Guard Versus New Blood: Einstein worked on both sides of the divide. He was one of the main forces in ending the era of classical physics, yet he spent the rest of his life trying preserve a sense of predictability and order--a defining trait of classical Newtonian physics--to the randomness-based quantum mechanics and modern physics.
