What on Earth did Einstein ever do that was so wrong?

In what ways was he a "terrible" human being even if a downright brilliant scientist?

P.S. I once read somewhere and thought they were talking about the notorious MODERN man called JEFFREY EPSTEIN and when I read words like "science" next to him, I literally thought, what on Earth does Epstein have to do with SCIENCE but then realized, its Einsten.

P.P.S. Was the ever popular fictional figure FRANKENSTEIN based on him?

P.P.P.S. However hundreds of years ago was this, do you still hold a grudge? If you invented time travel machine, would you get an ancient police on him, cheers.

I don't know, not that clued up on Einstein other than being some famous science guy, also Jewish and German and fled to America in the Hitler era.

What did you read? What is he supposed to have done?

Not unless Mary Shelly could time travel, Frankenstein was published several decades before Einstein was born

I know he married his first cousin.

Eww

At least he wasn’t his own grandfather.

Perfectly legal here in the UK!

We do have some weird laws

Wonder how often it happens? I've only met one married couple who were cousins, and that must be twenty years ago.

[–] PaladinNJ (21774) 2 years ago

He and Elsa Einstein were second cousins. Their fathers were first cousins.

Still a little weird.

But less bad I guess

I think he preferred to hang toilet paper under (against the wall) when everybody knows it should be hung over (away from the wall).

He’s dead man. DEAD when I find his ass!!!

I don't recall him being a bad person.

He and Epstein are not related.

And no, the fictional figure of Frankenstein is not based on him, considering Mary Shelly didn't know him at all when she wrote the book.

[–] Otter (24464) 2 years ago

Mary Shelley wrote the book about fifity years before Einstein was born, so she REALLY didn't know him!

[–] stickman38 (3439) 2 years ago

Didn't Einstein marry his cousin or something like that....

They did things a little differently back in the good 'ol days.

Not sure how true it is, but someone once told me that in his later years he used to wander around the streets naked.
