For what it’s worth, I thought Andy Serkis really captured some of the complexity of Einstein’s character in the movie “Einstein and Eddington” — contrasts with the typical characterization of Einstein as the cuddly goofball of pop culture, and paints him as a human with flaws.
I'm not sure why we should care. The private lives of Freud, Jung, and perhaps Russell may be of interest because their work was bound up in telling others how to live. Einstein did a certain amount of that--though I think more in the large than in the small--but he did not achieve fame for his thoughts on peace, socialism, etc. Rather his thoughts on matters of conduct became interesting because of the fame earned through physics.
But...the real (big) Question was: "Why is there no spaceship with 'front-drive'?", and speaking in terms of "Reisegefühl" (<i>um</i> in other words, something like the feeling you have during traveling) <i>heck</i> - damned Einstein - Why does it need mass for acceleration #=!*%?? (-:
i read these rules he had for this 1st wife years ago "A. You will make sure:<p>1. that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order;
2. that I will receive my three meals regularly in my room;
