When he was yong


Hello and welcome. Since this is my second post I think I’ll cover some of the stuff people might not know about Einstein at the beginning of his life.

Einstein actually didn't start talking until he was 4 years old. He also repeated his sentences softly for many years. He also didn't start to read until was 7, because of all this he was considered retarded, slow- witted, and possibly schizophrenic. Or so people thought.

But as a matter of fact it was later revealed in his biography by his family he actually had a relatively good understanding of the world at a young age, “The same family legend, though, reports that, at the age of 2 ½ years, when his newborn sister (a Mädle) was shown to the boy, Albert, obviously expecting a toy to play with, could already verbalize his disappointment: “But where are its wheels (Rädle)?””.

Looking back, there are a lot of misconstrued ideas about Einstein. This is largely due to the fact that not much is known about his early years. I’m really excited to see what else I learn and what will contradict or support what I think I know.
