A Photo of Albert Einstein in Sandals Became a Viral Meme
by Matthew Gilligan
You’ve heard of “hot girl summer”, right?
Well, it seems like none other than the great Albert Einstein is getting in on the action.
Well, sort of…
A photo of the brilliant physicist from 1939 chilling by the ocean and wearing some pretty nifty sandals became a viral hit and got all kinds of people talking on social media.
Maybe the success of Oppenheimer had something to do with this…
Here’s the photo that got people talking.
