Mileva Maric: Albert Einstein met Mileva Maric at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. She was the only woman among the six students in the mathematics and physics section of the teaching diploma course. Einstein and Maric's friendship soon developed into romance. They had an illegitimate daughter named Lieserl, whose fate remains unknown. Einstein married Maric in 1903. They had two sons together - Hans Albert and Eduard. Their marriage had significant problems and they separated in 1914. They officially divorced in 1919.
Affair with Margarita Konenkova: Towards the end of Elsa's life, Einstein was involved in a romantic relationship with Margarita Konenkova, a woman reported to be a Russian spy. Their relationship was revealed much later through letters Einstein had written to her
Vegetarian Viewpoints: Although he was not always a strict vegetarian, Einstein has been quoted many times advocating for a vegetarian diet citing its benefits to health and humanity.

Gravitational Waves: In his general theory of relativity, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves - ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects. These were finally directly detected in 2015.
-
Born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879
-
Career as a patent examiner in Bern, Switzerland
Relationships with other women: Einstein was known to be involved with multiple other women during his marriages - something Elsa reportedly tolerated.
-
Unified Field Theory: Einstein spent the later part of his career searching for a single, unified theory that could combine electromagnetism and gravity, though he was ultimately unsuccessful.

Bose-Einstein Statistics & Condensates (1924-25): Working with the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, Einstein predicted a new state of matter for low temperatures and high densities, known as Bose-Einstein condensate, the fifth state of matter.
Black Holes: Predicted by general relativity as regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
Einstein Refrigerator: Invention of a refrigerator that operated without moving parts, using compressed gases.
Philosophical Reflections: Einstein's philosophical reflections on topics such as the nature of reality, the limits of human knowledge, and the meaning of life.

Stance on Pacifism: Einstein was a pacifist, and he publicly spoke out against war and militarism. After World War II, he advocated for a world government that could control nuclear technology and prevent another nuclear catastrophe.
Legacy in Pop Culture: Today, Einstein's name is synonymous with genius and his image has been widely used in TV shows, movies, and advertisements.
He renounced his German citizenship in 1896 and lived in Switzerland. Later, well after publishing his theories of relativity, he immigrated to the US when Hitler rose to power in 1933 and became a US citizen in 1940.
Einstein worked as a Patent Officer at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern from 1902-1909. During this time, he was reignited by his love for theoretical physics.
Einstein passed away on April 18, 1955. He continues to be recognized as one of the greatest physicists in human history.
