1. Einstein was not a beautiful child: when he was born, March 14, 1879, the nape of his neck 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 syndrome” to describe extremely intelligent people whose speech was delayed.
  3. He was not successful in mathematics: It has long been rumored that he was a bad student, but this is not true at all. In college he was familiar with physics, before he turned 11, he played the violin very well and had excellent grades in Latin and Greek. At the age of 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 asked Mileva a lot, even the rules she had to follow. She had to serve him three meals a day, stop talking if he asked for it, 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 letters sent by Elsie he spoke of his extramarital affairs. He wrote that the girls paid him "unwanted" attention.
  8. He didn’t really like socks: In another letter, Elsie 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 his hair than on his 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 18 April 1955 as a result of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured aorta. According to the Huffington Post, Einstein rejected the operation, saying: "It is distasteful to prolong life in an artificial way."
