Albert Einstein
A propos the  "Shakespeare/Marlowe Authorship" 
Albert Einstein :       
If at first the idea is not absurd then there is no hope for it.” .

  1. The "absurd" idea is:      that the true and only author of "Hamlet", "King Lear" or "Timon of Athens" was the deadly slandered poet-genius Christopher Marlowe, who - in consultation with the crown - was allowed to save his life by feigning his death, abandoning name and identity and writing henceforth under changing author names (incl.William Shake-speare, George Wither*1 and many others )
-------------------------
*1)Be Aware, that our Poet Genius Marlowe - at his official life time - already traveled incognity under pennames such as  George Wither (Reims 1585) or  Geoffrey Whitney (Leyden 1585/86)
