- Childhood life:
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany to parents Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein. His parents had planned to name the boy Abraham, after his paternal grandfather. But they thought that the name felt “too Jewish” and ended up naming him Albert.
2.Speech difficulty during childhood: Einstein did not speak until the age of three. Today there is a term, “Einstein Syndrome,” which was coined by Dr. Thomas Sowell, to describe exceptionally bright people whose speech is delayed.
3:Schooling style: Einstein was not comfortable in school as he did not like the teaching style. He did not believe in the systematic order teaching and free thinking without any bias. He once stated, “A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth."
4.The parietal lobe in Einstein’s brain was 15% larger than that of an average brain.
5.Did you know: Sir Isaac Newton was born the year Galileo Galilei died and Einstein was born the year that Maxwell died?
