Albert Einstein born March 14, 1879, died April 18, 1955. He was a German theoretical physicist, recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time. During his lifetime devoted to physics, he owned many achievements (including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921), along with a huge number of patents up to 50 degrees.

Few people know that 4-year-old Einstein just started to speak, making his parents extremely worried. Einstein's parents had to seek help from a doctor to overcome his speech delay. Later, the economist Thomas Sowell even coined the term "Einstein syndrome" to describe people who were intelligent or exceptionally talented but were slow to speak at a young age. While still in school, Einstein was familiar and proficient with physics at the university level when he was less than 11 years old and an excellent violin player, he also won many high marks in Latin and Greek. Lap. Less than 15 years old, Einstein had mastered differential and integral calculus.

Albert Einstein is considered the great mind of mankind, Times magazine calls him "Man of the century" - a person who has had a great influence on mankind for a thousand years. His great intellectual achievements made the name "Einstein" become synonymous with the word "genius".

As a theoretical physicist, but Einstein's research has great significance in the daily life of mankind. For example, his Theory of Relativity states that gravity affects time: Time moves faster for objects in space than for objects here on Earth. And that has profound implications for many later space technologies, especially the accuracy of GPS - the positioning technology that is increasingly expanding in modern life today.

For Einstein, every human being is a genius with its own strengths and talents, but unfortunately not everyone has the courage, faith and curiosity to discover all their strengths. His thinking "everyone is a genius" has inspired many people in life, a great motivation for everyone to try harder every day.

In love affairs, Einstein is an extremely flowery, even bohemian and rebellious person. He met his wife - Mrs. Mileva Maric at the Department of Mathematics - Physics at the Zurich Polytechnic Institute in 1896. Mrs. Mileva was 4 years older than Einstein. Their relationship was strongly opposed by Einstein's family. They thought Mileva was too old, her legs limp, and her schooling was too high for Einstein's mother's standards. However, in the end, the two still got together and had 3 children. As a good and intelligent woman, Mileva greatly contributed to her husband's career. There is ample evidence that they worked together to produce the Theory of Relativity. However, she did not want to show off her talent, but just wanted to stand behind Einstein's back as much as possible.

However, after Mileva gave birth to her third child, Einstein had an affair with her cousin Elsa. When family members wanted more attention from him, Einstein redoubled his focus on work. This has put stress on his family to a point. Einstein once said, "I treat my wife like an employee that I cannot fire".

When the marriage was on the verge of breakdown, Einstein issued a contract that recorded a series of requirements for his wife to comply if she wanted to continue the marriage. The rules he set for his wife were as cold and precise as his mathematical equations.

"You have to fold my clothes in the right order, serve 3 meals a day in my room. You have to give up all personal interaction with me, except when having to appear in public. You do not no return of affection is expected from me... You must leave my bedroom and my office immediately upon my request without objection," quoted in the contract Einstein ordered wife signed.

Einstein's wife reluctantly agreed but was not surprised when the marriage quickly came to an end due to Einstein's rejection of his wife and his relationships with young girls who did not demand affection from him. grandfather.

In 1918, Einstein offered her a divorce with the promise: "If I win the Nobel Prize, I will give you the prize money," and Mileva agreed. Later, she used that money to buy 2 small apartments. However, his eldest son Eduard is often hospitalized because of schizophrenia. Mileva was forced to sell 2 apartments to pay for medicine. Since then, she has lived on remuneration from sharing sessions about life lessons learned from her life, plus the meager allowance that Einstein occasionally provided.

In 1925, when the two were still in dispute over the prize money from the Nobel Prize, Albert wrote in his will that the money was the inheritance he left to his son. However, Mileva strongly objected and claimed that the money was a remuneration for her contributions to his scientific work.

Albert responded in a harsh letter: "You make me laugh by threatening me with those memories. You once spent a second thinking that no one would notice. What do you say if the man you're talking about can't do something important?".

Immediately after divorcing his wife, he immediately married his lover Elsa. However, later on, he had affairs with many other young women. Although he is a genius with great contributions to human science, from an ethical point of view, it can be said that the great German physicist Albert Einstein is also just a man with a ... relative conduct. . Even if he is strict, he must call his behavior in some cases callous!

In 1955, Albert Einstein was rushed to the emergency room and died not long after from an aortic aneurysm. A doctor who used to be his friend said that the abdominal aortic aneurysm could be the result of syphilis. A person with countless lovers like Albert Einstein most likely had this disease. However, when Einstein was autopsied, doctors found no signs of syphilis. Many believe that Einstein's death may have been caused by another factor: his long-standing smoking habit. One study demonstrated that male smokers had a 6.7 times higher incidence of aortic aneurysms.

Worth mentioning, just a few hours after this great scientist passed away, the doctor in charge of his autopsy separated the brain from the body, then brought it home to store it without permission. permission of the Einstein family. The doctor's name was Thomas Harvey. He believed that the brain of a scientist like Einstein needed to be kept for research.

At first, Einstein's son Hans was furious when he learned that Harvey had stolen his father's brain. Einstein's wish was to be cremated and scattered ashes in secret in case anyone peeped. However, Harvey managed to convince Hans that he was "unraveling one of the greatest mysteries of all time - the secret of genius". Einstein's son finally gave in.

Harvey meticulously imaged the brain and divided it into 240 parts. He also sent several specimens to other researchers; one of them was given to Einstein's granddaughter in the '90s, although she declined. Harvey preserved Einstein's brain in glass jars, then put it in a beer cooler and covered it with cartons of fermented apple juice.

In 1985, Harvey published research on Einstein's brain. He found that it was really different from normal brains, so it also worked in a very different way. However, later studies have disproved this hypothesis, although some still agree with Harvey's conclusion.

Still, scientists admit they're not sure if the distinct features of Einstein's brain are closely related to his genius mind. Not only is he a genius scientist, he is also bilingual, can play a musical instrument and is autistic.

Thanks to Harvey, humanity has had the opportunity to learn about the genius brain of Albert Einstein. However, having this brain turned his life upside down. After much controversy, Harvey fell into unemployment and divorce, and was even stripped of his medical license in 1988.
