The 'Albert Einstein Copypasta' refers to a series of fictional, often long-winded stories circulating on social media and email chains since the early 2000s, where a student humbles a smug professor by proving the existence of God or a complex moral truth. The story invariably ends with the dramatic reveal: 'And that student was Albert Einstein.' While the specific 'Atheist Professor' story is historically false, the internet repurposed the phrase as a punchline to mock unbelievable, self-aggrandizing, or fabricated stories. Today, the meme is used ironically to cap off any obviously fake 'and then everyone clapped' anecdote, cementing its status as a staple of internet skepticism and satire.
