Albert Einstein could have been an alien from a parallel universe.
Paranormal expert Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe is convinced that there is a "multiverse" that has given the human race both the genius physicist and artist Leonardo da Vinci.
Fanthorpe also believes that extraterrestrials have visited planet Earth.
He said: "I think very much life from other planets has been here. Let's take great geniuses like Leonardo da Vinci, or Plato or Socrates. Are they terrestrial beings?
"If we think of Einstein, the brain capacity there is absolutely colossal. Did he grow up and it was just the natural development of his brain or is he from somewhere else?
"Amazing people who have something like three or four times the normal human IQ and do these miraculous things - are they from elsewhere?"
