I am not a scholar of Einstein but I did read that huge biography 
about him and the thing that gives credence to his being influenced 
or impressed by something outside of himself is that he came up with 
the theory of special relativity purely by putting himself in the 
place in his mental dimension.

In other words his laboratory was his own mind. I think that is truly 
remarkable about this story. That is the plane that the masters work 
on: the mental plane.
