Albert Einstein who developed the general theory of relativity is often referred to as the father of modern physics and perhaps the most influential physicist in the 20th century. Let's look at 5 interesting facts about Einstein that you probably didn't know!
5- After Einstein emigrated from Germany to US in 1930s, his name was added to a list of assassination targets by Nazis, with the phrase, "not yet hanged".
4- After the death of Israel's first president in 1952, Einstein was offered the position of President of Israel. He refused the offer and said:" I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people".
3- He alerted US President Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the U.S. does the same. This eventually led to the development of an atomic bomb by US. Einstein later considered this as "one great mistake in his life".
2- Einstein used to charge $1 for signing an autograph. He would later donate the money to a charity.
1-On 17 April 1955, Albert Einstein experienced internal bleeding. He refused surgery and said: "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." He died the next day at the age of 76.
Bonus facts:
1- In his early 20s, he was working the patent office, as an assistant examiner. He evaluated patent applications for electromagnetic devices!
