About this title

Synopsis

Sure, you've heard of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. But do you really know what it means? Even if you do, there's a lot more to be learned about this eccentric genius. Did you know he worked to develop hearing aids? Or that a student actually spotted a mistake in one of his papers? And you'll never guess what happened to Einstein's brain after he died. Filled with these and other interesting, intriguing anecdotes, 101 Things You Didn't Know about Einstein takes a novel approach to the life and work of this fascinating modern-day icon. Read on, and your own theories about Einstein will never be the same! Inside these pages, you'll learn about how and Einstein once drafted a letter to FDR about the use of nuclear fission in weapons of mass destruction. Einstein was offered the role of President of Israel not once, but twice – and humbly declined. Einstein's first wife, Mileva, may have helped him with his most famous theories. Einstein's theories have led to the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS).
