Incredible Facts About Albert Einstein.

If you ever ask anyone to name a physicist, I can all but guarantee you they will name Albert Einstein.

The physicist was revolutionary, changing the way we thought about the entire world both visible and invisible.

He helped win the war and discovered our universe. 

At birth, Einstein actually startled his mother as he had an abnormally big head; of course, as time went on it shrank to a ‘normal’ size.

Compared to an average brain, Einstein’s Parietal lobe (the part concerned with handling sensory information) was a whopping 15% larger than normal.

Einstein, like all amazing people, had some quirks. He never wore socks as he deemed them useless.

Einstein loved the violin, claiming if he wasn’t a scientist, he would be a musician as he lives, thinks, and sees his life in music. Einstein’s violin was named Lina.

Einstein paid his wife Mileva his entire prize money from his Nobel Prize, a staggering $32,250, which was vastly more than a professor’s salary back then.

 For the discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect and his work with Theoretical Physics, Albert received the 1921 Physics Nobel Prize.

Einstein’s first marriage to the mother of his child, Mileva Maric, lasted 16 years and had a contract outlining terms and conditions including the receipt of ‘3 meals a day to his room’.
