Marie Curie Killed Einstein

Whilst fiddling about trying to work out why a small group of men are being allowed to bring us to the brink of World War 3, I thought I’d look into the origins of the atom bomb and came upon this fascinating vignette.

I was surprised that an acutely aware scientist such as Einstein would be standing so close to someone with 20 years of direct radiation exposure, who was basically a walking bomb.


So fast forward to Einsteins death in 1955 and reading his doctors reports it appears that Einstein suffered for the last 39 years of his life with multiple digestive system complications, liver, stomach, intestinal and gall bladder disorders and finally collapsed and died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. 
Further research reveals that one of her daughters, Irene, and her husband Frederic who were also radiation scientists and Nobel prize winners, also died of radiation related diseases. (Leukemia and Hepatitis).


My conclusion seems rather obvious but doesn’t seem to have been presented as a “theory” before but instead there are some more sensationalist claims for causation of death, Syphilis seemingly the most pointed. I’ve always leaned towards Occam’s Razor as a philosophy to identify unknown reasons and causes and until I’m proved wrong, this is my theory.
