It took several months of googling ;) but I believe you are >! Albert Einstein *Someone broke my heart,* >! OP mentioned in a comment that this means that the answer has been broken down into parts. *Part of me resides in the intersection of Rand al'Thor and the 26* >! Rand al'Thor himself recognized that the intersection of his name and the name of the alphabet is AL *Sometimes I just need every way of knowing who the fourth to win a race was.* >! The fourth element on the Periodic Table is Beryllium whose symbol is Be. *Then again sometimes I just run marathons and win silvers and bronzes.* >! This could clue RT for Rotten Tomatoes, a website that reviews movies that, as the name implies, do not win gold medals. This has nothing to do with marathons (other than maybe a movie watching marathon) but OP said in the comments that a lot of the words are "gibberish" to "maintain the flow". The next line seems to confirm that this may be about movie reviews. *But the sums of my life is the sums of all the races I ran and all the movies I saw.* >! AL + BE + RT = ALBERT *And that gives me the energy to go ahead and fulfil my dreams.* >! Albert Einstein discovered the famous equation $E = mc^{2}$ which relates energy to mass and the speed of light. *Who am I? I've been asking the same to myself for over a hundred years lmao* >! Albert Einstein was born in 1879 and has had over a century to question his identity. If this answer is correct then I hope it helps mend his heart and reaffirm his identity. The hints: >! Albert Einstein had *White hair* and did [tag:physics].
