<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Albert Einstein is perhaps the most famous scientist in history. His name and his contributions to the world of science and physics are well-known throughout the world; thus, he will never be forgotten. His theories are studied in almost every school and university in the world and many people view him as one of the most intelligent people ever to walk the earth.<\/p>\n
1. Sailing<\/strong><\/p>\n Einstein had his quirks and there are many much lesser known things about him such as the fact that sailing was one of his favorite pastimes; he is said to have enjoyed it because it was the sport that demanded the least energy. He liked working and was very dedicated to it, but when he went home for the day, he wanted to be done. He didn\u2019t like games that required a lot of thinking and shunned that kind of entertainment. It is for this reason that he hated the game Scrabble.<\/p>\n 2. Walking Without Socks<\/strong><\/p>\n One of Einstein\u2019s favorite things was to walk around without wearing socks. He felt that the big toe always just put a hole in the sock, so there was really no point in wearing them in the first place.<\/p>\n 3. Poor Speller<\/strong><\/p>\n Although his mind was very keen and able to figure out some of the most complicated and difficult questions of man, Einstein was a very poor speller. He learned English as a second language and spoke it fluently, but was never able to write very well in English.<\/p>\n 4. Montreal Pip Smokers Club<\/strong><\/p>\n Einstein was also known for his pipe and the fact that he was always smoking something. He was a member of the Montr\u00e9al Pipe Smokers Club and said that the pipe helped him stay calm and retain his objectivity in difficult situations.<\/p>\n 5. Marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n Marriage was something that was very difficult for Einstein. He believed that marriages were dangerous and that it was an attempt to make something last longer than it should have in the first place by nature. He was infamous as a husband and had a reputation for falling in love with someone else right after taking vows to be with another woman. This was something that he didn\u2019t really view as a problem though as he thought that it was more interesting to have a variety of women to live with and love.<\/p>\n 6. House Cat<\/strong><\/p>\n Einstein was very fond of animals and kept a house cat. Oddly enough, his cat had a tendency to get depressed whenever there was rain outside. Einstein was observed talking to his cat and telling it that he knew what was wrong but didn\u2019t know how to turn it off.<\/p>\n 7. Despised Science Fiction<\/strong><\/p>\n Einstein despised science fiction and he didn\u2019t mince words when he expressed his distaste for it. He once said that anyone who claimed to have seen a UFO should just keep it to themselves and never say anything to anyone else about it. He didn\u2019t want to know about what the future had in store and was too concerned with the present to worry about things to come. He said that he didn\u2019t have time to worry about the future and that it would be real soon enough anyway.<\/p>\n
