TEN THING THAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT EINSTEIN


Most people know that Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who discovered the formula E = mc2. 10 But do you know the following about the genius?

10. Glad to Sailing

When Einstein enrolled at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, he fell in love with the hobby of sailing. He often issued a boat to sail on the lake, took notes, relax, and think.Although Einstein never learned to swim, sail a hobby which he diligently throughout his life.


9. Einstein's Brain
When Einstein died in 1955, his body cremated and his ashes spread, according to his wishes. However, before his body was cremated, pathologist Thomas Harvey at Princeton Hospital perform an autopsy to remove Einstein's brain. Instead of Einstein's brain back into his body, Harvey decided to keep the brain is for research purposes. Harvey does not have permission to keep Einstein's brain, but a few days later, he convinced Einstein's son that it would help the world of science. After that, Harvey was dismissed from his post at Princeton because he refused to give up Einstein's brain.
For the next four decades, Harvey storing pieces of Einstein's brain (Harvey cut it into 200 parts) in the two containers which he always carried while he travels. Occasionally, Harvey cut a small portion of the brain and send it to a scientist. Finally, in 1998, Harvey returned to the pathological brain Einstein Princeton Hospital.

8. Einstein and Violin
Einstein's mother, Pauline, was a renowned pianist and wanted his son to love music too.So he began to register to attend violin Einstein when Einstein was 6 years old.Unfortunately, Einstein initially hated playing the violin. He prefers to build a house of cards, which are very adept at doing it (he never built a house 14 floors!), Or do anything else. When Einstein was 13 years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he listened to Mozart's music. With new desire to play the violin, Einstein continued to play the violin until the last years of his life. For nearly seven decades, Einstein did not just play the violin to relax when he was bored with his thought, he also played with local groups or join the singers around the Christmas songs that come to his house.

7. Israel's presidency
A few days after Zionist leader and first President of Israel Chaim Weizmann died on November 9, 1952, Einstein was asked to accept a position as the second president of Israel. Through his written rejection letter, Einstein stated that not only he did not have the ability and experience to deal with people, but because he also is getting old.

6. Without T-Legs
One of the charm that held Einstein was appearances that "mess". Besides that never combed his hair, strange habits that are owned Einstein is that he never wore socks.Either when he sails or when he attended an official ceremony at the White House; Einstein never wore socks wherever she goes. For Einstein, socks is annoying because it is often hollow. Then, why must wear socks and shoes if you use one of them was enough?

5. A Simple Compass
When Albert Einstein was five years old and ill, his father showed him a simple compass to Einstein. Einstein appears curiosity. What forces are able to make a small needle is able to point to a particular direction? That question haunted Einstein for many years and recorded as the beginning of Einstein's interest in science.

4. Designing Refrigerator
21 years after writing the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein found a refrigerator that operates using alcohol gas. The refrigerator was patented in 1926 but was never produced because new technologies are developed so as to make the design no longer used. Einstein found the refrigerator because he read the news about a family who have been poisoned by refrigerator that emits sulfur dioxide.

3. Heavy Smokers
Einstein was very fond of smoking. When he walked from house to his office in Princeton, people often saw him walking followed by a puff of smoke. Some images are owned by Einstein, apart from the rumpled hair and baggy clothes he was wearing, Einstein is also known for his pipe. In 1950, Einstein was recorded saying, "I believe that pipe smoking contributes to human beings by providing a calm and objective assessments in any affairs of humanity." Although he prefers smoking a pipe, Einstein never rejected an offer to smoke a cigar or a cigarette .

2. Marrying cousin
Having divorced his first wife, Mileva Maric, in 1919, Einstein married his cousin, Elsa Loewenthal. How close their brotherly relationship? Close enough. Elsa has a blood relationship with both parties Einstein family. Albert's mother and mother Elsa is a brother and sister, and father of Albert and Elsa's father is a cousin. When they were children, Elsa and Albert often played together; however, their relationship started since Elsa married and divorced Max Loewenthal.

1. A Child Outside Marriage
In 1901, before Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric married, the couple underwent romantic vacation on Lake Como, Italy. After the vacation, Mileva found herself pregnant. At the time and age, the child outside of marriage is not something that can be accepted by society.Because Einstein did not have the money to marry Maric and also the ability to support a child, they do not get married until Einstein finally get a job at the patent office a year later.So that Einstein's name is not tarnished, Maric tingal back with his family and gave birth to a baby girl who he named Lieserl.

Although we know that Einstein had a daughter, we do not know what actually happened to him. There are only a few references to his daughter in Einstein's letters, the last in September 1903. Believed that Lieserl died after he suffered a fever when he was a kid, or he recovers from a fever and diasopsi. Both Albert and Mileva Lieserl keep secret the existence of the meetings so that the new Einstein's colleagues discovered its existence last few years
