Almost many scientists have some innocuous little quirks. Like Nikola Tesla as we know him, he is known as the one who led the Second Industrial Revolution, and serbian banknotes still have his portrait printed on them.
However, it is such a great scientist that he likes to press his feet. This foot press is not our usual foot massage, but we repeatedly squeeze our toes with our hands at home. According to Tesla, repeatedly pressing the toes helps activate your own brain cells.
However, it is surprising that such a scientist who likes to press his feet has a very serious cleanliness habit and obsessive-compulsive disorder. His handkerchiefs, ties, and gloves are used only once and only boiled vegetarian food is eaten. His recipes were so simple that they consisted of only milk, honey, bread and vegetable juice.
In fact, not just Tesla, but many scientists and artists have incomprehensible quirks, and Einstein is no exception.
Einstein's quirk even led to his pictures in textbooks showing only the upper part of his body. What's going on? Let's take a look down together.
Jump out of the funny Einstein
I believe we have all seen a photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, many people think that this is a picture of the Network spoof, in fact, it is not, in fact, there is a little-known story behind this photo.
Einstein had just celebrated his 72nd birthday, and after the birthday party, many journalists were reluctant to leave. They have been photographing and interviewing Einstein, hoping to ask some breaking news.
There was even a reporter who asked Einstein to cooperate with the camera and smile. At this time, Einstein came to me: you make me laugh, I will not laugh. So, Einstein, who faced the camera, not only did not laugh, but also sat in the car and made a tongue-out action to the camera.
It was his unexpected move that made this photograph a classic photograph of Einstein. There are still many things about Einstein's "secondary two", even when he has children, he is very puzzling.
He really enjoys playing a game called "Imagine" with his children. How is this game made? Einstein would often take his children with him on a boat to float freely in the lake.
Through the double action of the ripples of the water in the lake and gravity, he would often close his eyes with the child and imagine that he was sitting on a rocket and traveling in space together. In this game of imagination, he associates illogical imagination with physics. It is said that many physical discoveries that shocked the world were "imagined" in this way.
Shortly after the discovery of "relativity", young students surrounded Einstein's house and asked him to explain to them in the simplest terms, what exactly is "relativity"?
Because the "theory of relativity" was still very complex and difficult to understand at that time, at that time, only a handful of top scientists in the industry could fully understand the core content of the "theory of relativity".
Einstein, who was playing with his heart, walked out of his house and used the story of beauty and the stove, and explained the "theory of relativity" clearly in just a few words.
Here's how he explained it:
Suppose you sit by the fire with a beautiful woman, and an hour has passed and you feel as if five minutes have passed. But you sit alone by the fire, and after 5 minutes, you feel like you've been sitting for an hour.
Einstein was not a conformist scientific scholar, he was obsessed with physics and the magic of the universe, but he did not hesitate to break the rules of the world. This is probably the reason why he can constantly innovate in scientific research and constantly launch physical discoveries that shock the world!
Einstein, who is full of intelligence, has a bumpy road
Compared with the great achievements in the field of physics, Einstein was an out-and-out scumbag emotionally. Einstein, who entered college, met a girl at school, Mileva, who was the only girl in Einstein's class of physics majors.
Based on their common love of physics and their attraction to their talents, they soon entered the palace of marriage. After marriage, Mileva gave up her career for the sake of her family, not only taking care of housework but also earning money to subsidize the family. However, Mileva's understanding did not exchange for her husband's cherishing.
While Mileva was giving her body and soul to her family, Einstein was fighting with his cousin Elsa. In the beginning, they were merely exchanges of letters, when Aishar experienced a failed marriage, during which Einstein gave Aisha a lot of comfort and encouragement.
So, in the midst of frequent exchanges and comforts, they fell in love. However, at this time, Einstein and Mileva maintained a marriage relationship, and he was not willing to give up the warm family that Mileva had built for him. Until Mileva discovered his infidelity.
After discovering her husband's infidelity, Mileva tried to repair the relationship in various ways, but Einstein made a decision early. He first drew up a separation agreement for his wife, asking her to respect herself and take care of her food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but not to interfere in her work, let alone hope to get her love and care.
Such a desperate operation can be said to have broken Mileva's heart, and in the mood of disappointment and sadness, Mileva left with the child.
Einstein turned around and married his cousin, but Elsa knew nothing about physics, and when the passion subsided, the two did not have any common language.
However, Einstein did not find any comfort in his second marriage, so he chose to transfer his energy outside of studying physics to extramarital affairs.
As a scientist, Einstein was a great predecessor, but as a husband and father, he could not escape the amorousness and irresponsibility of ordinary scumbags.
Why Einstein only had a picture of his upper body
Einstein in our impression always seems to be a fluffy white hair, a white beard, a wrinkled face, and a wise look. However, in terms of his life anecdotes and emotional experiences, it seems that the image on the photo has chosen a more stereotype. Why do our textbooks only have pictures of Einstein's upper body?
In fact, this is also related to his aesthetic taste, the personality jumps out of the flow and amorous Einstein, has never been a conformist personality. When he was young, he felt uncomfortable wearing socks, and he never wore socks.
By chance, he was surprised to find that his wife's lady's sandals were particularly easy to wear, which simply opened the door to a new world. In middle age and old age, Einstein wore a pair of eye-catching women's slippers all year round.
It is precisely because of his special hobby that most of the photos in the middle and late period are photos of this strange outfit.
The selection of photo standards in textbooks is to better guide children's future growth, and naturally such a strange photo is abandoned, and a decent bust is used instead.
Summary: Whether it is a portrait or a photo, it can only show a very stereotypical style, and often has a confusing effect, so it does not represent a person's life.
What we need to know is not only the appearance of this person, but also the things and inner qualities behind his back. Only in this way can we better recognize a person, not be confused by appearances, and not be trapped in the heart.
