Einstein's brain weighed 1,230 grams, which is slightly smaller than the average human brain. However, studies have shown that certain areas of his brain, such as the parietal lobes, were unusually well-developed, possibly contributing to his exceptional intelligence.
How much money did Einstein win for his Nobel Prize?
He did not win any of the money. He made a deal with his first wife with her giving him a divorce he would give her all of his winnings for his nobel prize.
What effects Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicts that gravity has on light?
If light passes by a large mass gravity will pull it down a little, bending its trajectory. If light leaves a large mass gravity will "stretch" its wavelength (decrease its frequency)and if it falls into a large mass gravity will scruntch up its wavelength (increase its frequency).
What does the equation E equals mc squared represent?
E=mc2
E=Energy
m=mass
c=the speed of light in a vacuum
The equation relates mass to energy. Einstein made it.
What was Albert Einstein's mother's maiden name?
Pauline Koch [February 8, 1858-February 20, 1920]. She was the well-educated, youngest child of Julius Koch and Jette Bernheimer, who were married in 1847. The family name had been Doerzbacher until her father changed his last name, in 1842. Her father and his brother Heinrich did so well in the corn trade that they ultimately shared the prestigious title of Royal Wurttemberg Purveyor to the Court. So he was able to provide very well for the education of his other children [Caesar, Fanny, and Jakob] too.
On August 8, 1876, Pauline Koch married Hermann Einstein [August 30, 1847-October 10, 1940] in Cannstatt, Wurttemberg, Germany. After her marriage, she continued her lifelong interest in art, literature, and music. Although she favored the piano, she had her first-born child, Albert Einstein [March 14, 1879-April 18, 1955], begin learning the violin at age five.
Due to the ups and downs of her husband's business fortunes, Pauline Einstein was faced with frequent moves. For the couple began their married life in Ulm, the site of her husband's bed feathers company venture. In summer 1880, they moved to Munich, for her husband's electrical engineering venture, ka Einstein & Cie., with his brother Jakob. She moved to Milan in 1894, and then to Pavia in 1895, when the factory was moved to Italy. When the business failed in 1896, she moved back to Milan, where her husband started up his own company. In 1903, she moved back to Germany, for an extended stay with older sister Fanny and brother-in-law and textile manufacturer Rudolf Einstein. In 1911, Pauline Einstein movd out, to accept a position as housekeeper in Heilbronn, Wurttemberg. But some three or four years later, she moved to Zurich, Switzerland, to stay with older brother Jakob and family. During that time, she became ill from cancer, and had to be moved to the Rosenau sanatorium. From the end of 1919, until her death, she lived with son Albert Einstein and daughter-in-law Elsa, at Haberlandstrasse 5, Berlin.
It was to her second child, Maria aka Maja [November 18, 1881-June 25, 1951], that Pauline Einstein passed on her love of different cultures, languages and literatures. For Maja Einstein was educated at the teachers' workshop in Aarau, Switzerland, 1899-1902. She then studied Romance languages in Germany, at Berlin and Bern; and at Paris, France. She graduated from the university in Berlin, in 1909, with the title of Ms. Doctor. She left Germany when husband Paul Winteler [1882-July 1952] accepted employment at Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1911; and then at Colonnata, near Florence, Italy, in 1922. In 1939, she emigrated from Italy, to the United States, to keep her brother company after the death of his wife Elsa [January 18, 1876-December 20, 1936], at 112 Mercer Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Maia suffered from a stroke in 1939, and later died from the cumulative effects of progressive arteriosclerosis.
What was Albert Einstein's little girl's name?
Einstein and Mileva Marić had a daughter they called Lieserl in early 1902. - this was Einstein's only biological daughter. It is actually unknown what happened to her, since in the records available the last mention of her is in 1903. There is one theory that she died of scarlet fever as an infant, and another that she was adopted by a close friend of Maric's and raised as 'Zorka Savic'. As far as I know neither of these has ever been proved. It's all here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieserl_Einstein
Einstein's second wife Elsa Löwenthal had two girls from her first marriage, Margot and Ilse. Although these weren't Einstien's daughter's biologically, I believe he and Elsa raised them, so they were essentially 'adopted stepdaughters' to him and I think he more or less treated them as his daughters.
Anyway, hope that's helpful.
Why was albert Einstein a genius?
because he was very very smart.
no....... that is no the right answer
- the density of certain cells in his brain was higher than normal
- the part of the brain used for scientific and mahematical reasoning seemed to be larger than average
When he defined his theory of relativity his popularity grew more and more. Afther that people described to him superhuman inteligenci. We will never found out was he really that kind smart or was it just publicity stunce. He never created anything praticall some machine or something like (that helped people) that but his quantum physics was rather mystery. There is a boy now who is killing his theory of relativity...
What does it mean if you have a IQ?
IQ means Intelligence Quota - how smart you are. Take a Mensa IQ Test online. 100 is average - 150 is extremely intelligent. Below 100 needs improvement.
