Probably, this is the first name that instantly comes to mind as a synonym to the word “genius”. Einstein made a huge contribution to the way we see the Universe and understand its processes. He’s best known for the Special and General Theory of Relativity. We also have all studied the mass-energy equivalence equation (E=mc2). The modern physicists can’t imagine their work without Einstein’s discoveries and predictions in terms of quantum physics. In a word, he was way ahead of his time.

We can fairly say that having invented the General Theory of Relativity, Einstein was relatively crazy himself. He never wore socks and married his cousin (his second marriage). The story of his relationships with the first wife was also pretty strange given that Albert was also considering marrying his cousin’s older daughter, but she refused. When he and his cousin couldn’t find a way to stay together and coexist with each other, Einstein proposed an odd contract. According to it, his wife’s duties were to keep the house clean, cook food (three meals daily), stop talking to her husband upon his request, and “renounce all personal relations” with him.
