wikked thoughts by Waqas Ahmed

PBS has a very interesting documentary on Einstein’s wife, Mileva Maric Einstein. It seems she was deliberately erased from his life story. She may have also had a hand in collaborating on his work, yet being an object of his contempt and abuse.

“Albert has a new lover, his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal. On his 34th birthday, he gets a card from Elsa. That evening, Mileva is absent from a party. The next day, worried friends call on Mileva. Her face is bruised and swollen.”
