What is the Relationship Between Albert Michelson and Einstein?

In summary, the conversation is about the relationship between Albert Michelson and Einstein, specifically related to the Einstein number project. The goal is to determine how many people it took for Michelson to reach Einstein. The conversation includes a photo of the two men together, with Michelson standing to the left of Einstein. The person is seeking help to find information about this relationship.

I need some help trying to figure out the relationship between Albert michelson and einstein. Basically it is called the Einstein number project and we have to figure out how many numbers (aka people) it took for michelson to get to einstein.

For Example: (This Einstein number is 4) Arthur Wiggins had a graduate school professor at U of M named otto laporte, who was student of Anrold Sommerfeld, who met einstein several times in germany.

Now i can't find any info like this to find the einstein number between michelson and einstein. Can someone help me out on this? thank you

Michelson, with the moustache, stands to the left of Einstein, with an even more famous moustache.
