Albert Einstein was without a doubt one of the most important and influential minds of the 20th century. However, his career, while brilliant, also conceals some truly astonishing anecdotes.

Get the skinny on this genius among geniuses.

1. Albert Einstein: an average student?

This is certainly one of the most surprising aspects of Albert Einstein's life.  

Believe it or not, this 20th century genius was an average student.

How do we know this? Allegedly, he failed his entrance exam to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich in 1895.

Now, that doesn't mean he was an impostor. He simply possessed a form of intelligence that had a hard time flourishing in the educational environment of the time.

Failing, failing, and failing again happen to even the greatest geniuses. Sometimes all it takes is a change of context and method to succeed in expressing your full potential.


2. An unexpected ladies' man.

Everyone has their flaws, and Albert Einstein is no exception! His brilliant mind didn't stop him from making mistakes when it came to "controlling" his body.

He wasn't convinced of the value of monogamy, which can be problematic when you're married.

Once his divorce from his first wife, Mileva Marić, was finalized, he actually considered marrying his own cousin, Elsa Einstein.

Apparently, he was quite the heartbreaker!


3. His brain… his actual brain was stolen.

Albert Einstein wanted to be cremated after he died.

But he wasn't.

His brain was stolen by Thomas Harvey, the doctor in charge of the autopsy. The organ would later tour the United States, going from analysis labs to dissection tables.
