Is there even one person in the world who has not heard of Albert Einstein? It is not without reason that he is called the father of modern theoretical physics, because countless scientific discoveries were made precisely because of him, and both during his lifetime and after his death. To this day, few in the world can compete with his powerful brain, which really knew how to reach the immense.
During his life, he wrote more than three hundred works in the field of theoretical physics, as well as about a hundred and fifty scientific papers in other fields. In childhood, his school success was mediocre. With the success of the future genius, contrary to the common myth, everything was in order, but he was disliked by many teachers, which created certain problems. He started learning the violin before he learned to speak – at the age of 6. Einstein never received a high school diploma. Despite the fact that Albert Einstein lived in the US for a long time, he preferred to speak German. The scientist was cold to sports, stating that he prefers to work with the brain rather than with muscles. If any scientific problem did not want to be given to him, Einstein began to play the violin. As he himself said, during the game he is often condescended to insights. In his youth, Einstein happened to work as an electrician.
For his autograph, he invariably asked for one dollar. There was no shortage of volunteers, and he then transferred the money to charity. The scientist loved to smoke a pipe and was even a member of the Montreal Canadian Pipe Smokers Club. Einstein was extremely negative about science fiction, arguing that it distorts reality. When a scientist lived in the United States, the FBI suspected him of spying for the Soviet Union. Einstein was being watched, and his telephone conversations were tapped. This information was made public only after his death.
One of Einstein’s children suffered from dementia, and spent most of his life within the walls of a psychiatric hospital, having outlived his father only by ten years. Perhaps it was he who stimulated the invention of the atomic bomb by the Americans when, in 1939, he warned the US government that Germany was actively developing in this area. Einstein was married twice. He entered into a second marriage with his second cousin. He fled from Germany to the United States in 1933, after Hitler came to power, because he feared that he would be forced to work on military projects. For unknown reasons, the word “we” deduced the great physicist from himself. The reasons for this strange reaction can only guess. Albert Einstein preferred to spend most of his free time alone. According to him, he learned to speak only at the age of seven, because he did not want to communicate with anyone. Einstein’s favorite composer was Mozart.
Shortly before his death, he almost completed a scientific work, which he considered one of the most important in his life, but he burned all his manuscripts without having published them. Einstein allowed to explore his brain after death. Seven hours after his heart stopped, his brain was taken out, but the autopsy who performed the autopsy stole him. A portrait of Albert Einstein was depicted on Israeli banknotes of five lira issued in the 70s and 80s of the last century. The great scientist was nominated for the Nobel Prize more than once, but he received it not for the theory of relativity, but for the theory of photoeffect, because the committee had been hesitating for a long time whether it was possible to present the award for such revolutionary scientific ideas that he had voiced. When, shortly before his death, he was taken to hospital, he was offered an operation that, in theory, could save his life. The scientist refused. Einstein’s dying words, uttered by him in the hospital just before the cardiac arrest, remained unknown, because he spoke them in German, and only the English-speaking doctor was next to him.
