1. Einstein was not a pretty child: When he was born, March 14, 1879, the back of his head was so large that the family thought something was wrong with him. However, within a few weeks the head was forming normally.
2. He learned to speak late: Some say he could not speak until he was four years old. Thus Dr. Thomas Sowell coined the term "Einstein's syndrome" to describe extremely intelligent people whose speech was delayed.
3. He was not unsuccessful in mathematics: It has long been rumored that he was a bad student, but this is not true at all. He was familiar with physics in college, before he turned 11, he played the violin very well and had excellent grades in Latin and Greek. At less than fifteen, he graduated in mathematics.
4. He had an unrecognized child: Before he married his first wife, Mileva Marić, she secretly gave birth to a daughter in her parents' house in Serbia. However, the fate of the baby, whose name was Lieserl, is unknown. She disappeared from historical records soon after birth and there is no evidence that Albert ever saw his daughter.
5. Einstein set strange rules for his wife: He demanded a lot from Mileva, he even made rules for her that she had to follow. She had to serve him three meals a day, stop talking if he asked her to, and not expect intimacy from him.
6. He got along pretty well with his cousin: They got along so well that Elsa Einstein became his wife in 1919. As the Huffingtonpost writes, they made love even during his first marriage.
7. He was a favorite among women: In the letters he sent to Elsie, he talked about his extramarital affairs. He wrote that the girls were giving him "unwanted" attention.
8. He didn't really like socks: In another letter to Elsa, he wrote that he never wore socks at Oxford University. The world-famous genius eventually became known for his neglected appearance, although attention was focused more on the hair than on the legs.
9. He was a member of the NAACP: The NAACP (National Association for the Adventure of Colored People) is one of the oldest and most influential human rights organizations in the United States, and a member of this genius. During a speech at Lincoln University in 1946, he called racism a disease.
10. He may have hastened his own death: He died on April 18, 1955, as a result of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured aorta. According to the Huffington Post, Einstein refused the operation, saying: "It is distasteful to prolong life in an artificial way."
