However, the convention wasn't just to break a world record. It also kicked off this year's Next Einstein competition, which offers $10,000 in cash for an idea that will “make the world a better place.”

“We’re living in a world where people are not revealing their ideas, they are too afraid to share them,” Rami Kleinmann, president of the Einstein Legacy Project, said. “What we’re creating here is a way to encourage people to use their imaginations, share their ideas and improve the world.”
