He only cared about what he cared about, which is why he was so dedicated and achieved so much in his area of science. Schoolwork and any kind of social interaction was low on his priorities unless it was to promote his beliefs.

He used the the same amount of his brain as you do when typing in yahoo answers and trying to think up a question or an answer. People use all of their brain not just part. That is just a myth that can be seen in an MRI. All parts of the brain light up when you are doing something else. When you are thinking hard it lights up one part. When you are walking it lights up some other part. There is no wasted parts or unused parts of the human brain.
Einstein just picked his thoughts just like you do. He keep his brain working and did not let it set idle.

He was a loner and he was not religious. Not having religion blocking his thoughts he was open to think about anything. If he or Darwin either one had been religious they would not allowed themselfs think outside of the bible and would never found these great ideas.

Einstein received the Nobel prize for Physics in 1905 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
As for how much of his brain he used - this question is one of the great myths of the modern age. The human brain is about 10% neurons and 90% glial cells. As it was thought that only neurons contributed to brain activity, with the glial cells being support structure, it became the received wisdom that people use only 10% of the brain. This has been shown to be a load of hogwash.
However, an analysis of Einstein's brain after his death did demonstrate that he had an unusually high fraction of grey matter.

Everybody uses 100% of their brains. People say that people only use part of it, but modern imaging technologies show quite a different story. It is a myth that people only use 10 or 25 or whatever percent. For one thing, you have to live, you have to breathe, you have to have a heart that constantly beats, you have to do a zillion things all the time. And as far as perceiving and thinking goes, the whole brain is active in that. So it is not what "percent you use," it is now much you have, how it is organized, how you use it.
Einstein got the Nobel for showing that light is a particle, in his "photo-electic effect" experiments. Just google Einstein and go the sites, or use wikipedia.org....

This is ridiculous. Perhaps people only use 10% of their brain at one time because different parts of the brain are responsible for different things (seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting). If a person were using 100% of their brain they would go crazy. It would be like total sensory overload.

Einstein contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical reality. His special and general theories of relativity are still regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe that we have.
A normal human being uses upto 2% of his brain, while he used around 8%. His brain weight was also double the average weight.

an average person uses 2-3% of his brain relatively albert einstein used 6-7% of his brain,
he is regarded as the prophet of sceince, theory of relativity was his remarkable work in the field of science

An avg man uses only 15-20%. He managed to use 40%. Wondering where we all would have been had he consumed 100% and gave us more wonderful things in life, like asking nobody anything and knowing it all by urself.

Rephrasing your question used a greater percentage of my brain than normally; plus the grammar and capitalization.

sandevyl is wrong.when einstien died,his brain was disceted,and it was found out that his brain is the same size as any other normal human.He was a thinker,and that was what led to his famous,mindblowing discoveries.
