Ten Strange Facts about Einstein !!!!

1. Einstein was a fat baby with a large head.:

              As the back of his head seemed much too big , the family initially considered a monstrosity.

2. Einstein had speech difficulty as a child: 
                  As a child, he seldom spoke .


 As he was a late talker, his parents were worried. At last, at the supper table 
one night, he broke his silence to say, "The soup is too hot."

Greatly relieved, his parents asked why he had never said a word before.
Albert replied, "Because up to now everything was in order."


3. Einstein was inspired by a compass... 

                      When Einstein was five years old and ill in bed one day, his father showed him a simple pocket compass. What interested young Einstein was whichever the case was turned, the needle always pointed in the same direction. He thought there must be some force in what was presumed empty space that acted on the compass. This incident, common in many "famous childhoods," was reported persistently in many of the accounts of his life once he gained fame. 


4. Einstein failed his university entrance exam..


5. Einstein had an Illegitimate child....

6 .Einstein Became Estranged From His First Wife, then Proposed a Strange "Contract"..

7. Einstein was a lady's man......

8. He didn't get along with his oldest son...

9. Einstein,the War Pacifist, Urged FDR to Build the Atom Bomb.

     

10. The Saga of Einstein’s Brain: Pickled in a Jar for 43 Years and Driven Cross Country in a Trunk of a Buick!

Einstein's master brain

Albert Einstein's brain has often been a subject of research and speculation. Einstein'sbrain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death. The brain has attracted attention because of Einstein's reputation for being one of the foremost geniuses of the 20th century, and apparent regularities or irregularities in the brain have been used to support various ideas about correlations in neuroanatomy with general or mathematical intelligence. Scientific studies have suggested that regions involved in speech and language are smaller, while regions involved with numerical and spatial processing are larger.Other studies have suggested an increased number of Glial cells in Einstein's brain


Whether Einstein's brain was removed and preserved after his death in 1955 with his permission is a matter of dispute. Ronald Clark's 1979 biography of Einstein said that "he had insisted that his brain should be used for research and that he be cremated", but more recent research has suggested that this may not be true at all, and that the brain was removed and preserved with neither Einstein's prior permission nor the permission of his close relatives.


Einstein's autopsy was conducted in a lab at the University of Pennsylvania by pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey at Princeton shortly after his death. Harvey then removed, weighted and dissected into several pieces Einstein's brain; some of the pieces he kept to himself while others were given to leading pathologists.
Harvey also removed Einstein's eyes, and gave them to Henry Abrams.He was fired from his position at Princeton Hospital shortly thereafter for refusing to relinquish the organs.

Einstein's Life

                                                       Einstein's Life

In the study of a scientist's life, it is important to recognize several key elements. Scientific contributions are of utmost importance. Following mention of those, it is then possible to look at his or her life, family, and religion as well. However, for Albert Einstein, these elements must all be looked at collectively. Einstein will no doubt go down in history as a great theoretical physicist. His work is compared in importance to that of scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Nicolas Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton. Some would even say that his contributions to science were greater. However, it is impossible to paint a complete picture of Einstein without examining his life, his religion, and his personality. His science was his life, and his religion gave him insights as to how to approach science. By observing his innate curiosity, desire for simplicity and elegance, humble outlook, and desire to seek answers, we can see what elements reached the center of his being.

The genius next door was only ALBERT EINSTEIN....
