6. In 1905, in his Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein stated that time and distance are not absolute. Two accurate clocks will not show the same time if one has moved fast relative to the other.

7. Einstein found Mileva Marie a clever companion. Both shared common interests in art, music, and literature, which was unusual for students then.

8. A ‘freak’ refers to someone unusual. Einstein’s mother thought him a freak because he behaved differently from normal children and had a large head.

9. Einstein was introverted and had speech problems. He was attracted to mechanical toys and often examined their parts closely.

10. Einstein loved mechanical toys, excelled in physics and mathematics, worked in a patent office developing his ideas secretly, published the Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, proved his theory of gravity in 1919, won the Nobel Prize in 1921, and was lauded worldwide as a scientific genius.
