Introduction Albert Einstein was one of the best ingenious scientists and masterminds in human history. A century ago, his remarkable published theory of General Relativity created new ideas related to the evolution of the universe and black holes, altered our knowledge of gravity, time and space dramatically. The physicist’s equation that helped explain special relativity E = MC2 is eminent even among those who do not understand its underlying physics. Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in the year 1921. He received the coveted prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and not on his ideas of relativity as then they were considered questionable, though during his acceptance speech, Einstein still opted to speak about relativity. He also tried in vain to unify all the forces of the universe in a single theory, or a theory of everything, which he was still working on at the time of his death. His extraordinary brilliant mind was advanced with creativity and allowed him to see possibilities, not limitations. He was Albert Einstein

also fuelled by an unquenchable thirst to discover, explore and indulge his curiosity. His wisdom has never been more pertinent to entrepreneurs, creators and innovators. After his death, while performing the autopsy, Princeton pathologist Thomas Harvey extracted the scientist’s brain and kept it aside in the hope of unlocking the secrets of his genius. Later, after he was able to get approval of Einstein’s son, Harvey chopped the brain into pieces and sent it to various scientists for research. In the year 1999, a team from a Canadian University published a paper declaring Einstein possessed unusual folds on his parietal lobe, a part of the brain that is associated with mathematical and spatial ability. 51 Must Know Facts about Albert Einstein will take you on a journey to the life of the most prolific influencer of the 20th Century. Comprehend on the Brainiac that Einstein was, his profound life, and his incredible discoveries that contributed effectively to the world we live in today.

Fact N um be r

1 Einstein didn’t start speaking until the age of 3 or 4. When he did, his first sentence was to complain at dinner that the soup was too hot. When asked why he hadn’t spoken before then, he replied: “because up to now, everything was in order.”

2 Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. He grew up in a secular Jewish family. His father, Hermann Einstein, was a salesman and engineer who, with his brother, founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a Munich-based company that mass-produced electrical equipment. Einstein’s mother, the former Pauline Koch, ran the family household. Einstein had one sister, Maja, born two years after him.
