What are little known facts about Albert Einstein?

Answer 1

Here are some little know facts about Einstein:

1. He didn't like Science Fiction literature.
2. He was extremely absent minded. One of his wives complained he never remembered where he left his belongings.
3. He had difficulties speaking when he was a child. He was a late bloomer and didn't speak in full sentences until around the age of 9
4. He didn't get along with his oldest son Hans.
5. His brain was removed and pickled (after his death) without his family's permission. The pathologist who performed his autopsy took Einstein's brain home in a jar and was later fired from his job for refusing to return the brain.
6. In the 1990's his brain took a weird cross country trip in the trunk of a Buick Skylark driven by the Pathologist who originally took the brain. Not sure why, but it went on the trip to meet Einstein's daughter. Now there's an image, Einstein's brain in a jar sloshing about in the trunk traveling across the US.
7. In 1998 the pathologist returned the brain to Princeton University nearly 50 years after he took it.
