I have read multiple biographies on Einstein. Very early on he showed his genius mind.
Please go and read and study this matter and have it resolved. The only place I read this theory was in leftist pronouncements.
Below is a small excerpt from Wiki on this matter.
In 1900, Einstein was awarded the Zurich Polytechnic teaching diploma, but Marić failed the examination with a poor grade in the mathematics component, theory of functions.[27]
There have been claims that Marić collaborated with Einstein on his celebrated 1905 papers,[28][29] but historians of physics who have studied the issue find no evidence that she made any substantive contributions.[30][31][32][33]
Einstein interacted in person with many of the great minds in Physics in the early 20th century. There was left in their minds no doubt about his incredible genius.
Someone of Einstein's amazing intellect does not happen but every 200-300 years.
Historians of Physics?
Imagine how the world of physics would have been turned completely upside down if Einstein’s wife had been revealed to be the brains behind the theory of relativity. After so man years of Einstein getting the credit and scientists drooling over his intellect, nobody would have been ready to give credit to his wife.
Also, nobody is taking anything away from Einstein’s intelligence. But, Einstein knew he was marrying someone with very high intelligence too, and whatever one of them was able to theorize, the other would have no problem understanding and even taking the theory further.
But, like I said, the stories from way back then would have been difficult to corroborate and prove, so, whatever the historians tell, will remain fact. BTW, doesn’t history get told by those that are accepted as official historians. Isn’t it a fact that, history gets to be told by the winner of a battle, or by those that get the loudest voices?
When the history of the last 2 elections gets told, it will likely show that, Obama was very likable and more in tune with the electorate, but, most of it won’t reflect the fact that, a great many people voted for him because, he offered the most gifts from government. I’m not saying that history lies all the time, but, written history does contain quite a bunch of lies.
And, BTW, people with Einstein’s high intellect occur more often than most people believe, but, most of them do not get to develop that intellect to the point where they achieve greatness. Most people with that kind of intellect are missing the people and environment and opportunities to achieve great thing, and become famous.
That kind of intellect is not something that comes along just “once every 200-300 years”.
