When it comes to Einstein, people's first impression is usually of his intellectual excellence and scientific achievements.
Einstein in the textbook is always "thinking", his expression is serious, and he seems to be out of the world.
But after Einstein's death, his scandal was exposed: his private life was chaotic, and his wife wanted to step on three boats while she was pregnant.
The whistleblower said that the child adopted by Einstein was actually his own daughter, and the person who exposed these scandals was Einstein's daughter, Aveline Einstein.
So, what was Einstein's private life like in chaos? As Einstein's granddaughter, why did Aveline expose her grandfather's big scandal?
Albert Einstein: The Unknown Side
In fact, when we understand a historical figure, we always look at it from a single perspective.
For example, Einstein, his theory of relativity and mass-energy equations, are the cornerstones of modern science, and the edifice of physics was built by him.
As everyone knows, these outstanding achievements are only a part of Einstein's life, and few people know about his life.
There is a book called "Einstein in Love", which mentions Einstein's love story, which is particularly popular in the United States.
After reading it, many people realize that Einstein was not a god-man, his life was similar to that of ordinary people, and he also had a secular human side.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany, and his full name was Albert Einstein.
His family background was Hermann Einstein, a local engineer and businessman, and his mother was a nanny for conservative Jews.
As a child, he moved to Munich, Germany, where he received his education.
Einstein fell in love for the first time at the age of 17, when he was a student and fell in love with the daughter of a tutor named Mary.
Mary, who was two years older than Einstein, admired his talent and exchanged letters frequently, and Mary often helped Einstein wash his dirty clothes.
The year after the two confirmed their relationship, Einstein was admitted to the university of his choice and said goodbye to Mary.
However, no one expected that Einstein, who came to the big city, soon left Mary behind, and he thought that Mary was a country girl, and gradually cut off contact.
Albert Einstein's school was famous, at least at the time, and its name was the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
In his year of enrollment, there were only five students in the Physics Department, and one of them was a beautiful girl named Mileva Malic, who was from Hungary.
The girl was 21 years old, a little older, but she understood physics very well, and Einstein liked her very much and often talked to him.
But the two did not collide with each other until June 1899, when they lived in Zurich on the Einstein Peninsula and met their first wife.
Her name is Annelli, her father runs a hotel, the two met and fell in love, they were inseparable, and had an illegitimate daughter in 1910.
Unbeknownst to Anneli, Einstein was still in contact with Mileva, who was pregnant with his child at an early age.
In the heart of Einstein, exploring the mysteries of the universe was his first priority, and he didn't want to focus on taking care of his children.
So since Mileva was pregnant, the two rarely saw each other, which made Mileva unacceptable, she suffered from postpartum depression, and the child was given away, and there has been no news since.
The paper can't hold the fire, and later Annelli also learned about these things, and felt that Einstein had betrayed her, and there was a rift in the relationship.
In 1912, Einstein fell in love with his cousin Elsa Einstein, and I have to say that his private life was indeed chaotic enough.
By the time she was in a relationship with her cousin, Elsa already had two daughters, she had been divorced, and she needed to be comforted by a man.
Later, Einstein fell in love with other women, which made Elsa very unhappy, and Einstein had a total of more than a dozen lovers in his life.
But Einstein liked the new and hated the old, there was no beginning and no end, and he couldn't count how many illegitimate children there were.
Even his wife was pregnant, she could pedal 3 boats, and later fell in love with a Soviet female spy, and the story that happened in the middle was even more complicated.
It has been revealed that Einstein in life is like an eccentric old man who likes to joke, and he especially likes to stick his tongue out at the camera.
I believe everyone has seen this classic photo, many people used to think that this picture was synthetic, after all, Einstein was engaged in scientific research, is an expert in physics, usually should be a respectable, with a calm atmosphere of professors.
Actually, this photo is real, it was taken 73 years ago, after Einstein's birthday party.
March 14, 1951, was Einstein's 72nd birthday, and he had lived in the United States for many years, working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
At that time, Einstein was a celebrity, and he had a wide range of connections around him, and his emotional relationship was even more complicated.
On his birthday, colleagues at the school gave Einstein a special surprise and arranged a birthday event for him.
During the event, Albert Einstein gave a speech and took a group photo with scholars from all walks of life, and at the end of the dinner, it was already late at night.
On Einstein's way home, several reporters appeared and surrounded him to comment on some of the latest papers published in the journal Science.
But Einstein was tired from a day's classes and a birthday party, and he didn't want to be interviewed by the media.
Faced with the reporter's long gun and short gun, Einstein subconsciously made an expression of sticking out his tongue, and then left the scene.
And this scene happened to be clearly captured by photographer Arthur Saass, but I didn't expect this photo to become a classic after that.
In 1986, many years after Einstein's death, Aveline Einstein published a large number of love letters from her grandfather Einstein.
Aveline was Einstein's adopted child many years ago, but she claimed to be Einstein's own daughter.
She did this with the simple intention of gaining public attention in order to compete for Einstein's huge legacy.
With later analysis, these love letters are indeed genuine, but Aveline's true identity is still not convincing to the public.
In order to prove her family bloodline, Aveline also found a medical institution to do a genetic test for herself, but the results of the test have not been released so far.
In any case, Einstein did do things against his lover, but he was never a god, and everyone made mistakes sometimes.
I hope that future generations will not over-praise these scientists, Einstein, like us, is an ordinary person.
