The life of Einstein

I've recently been listening to an audio book about Albert Einstein's life, which is really interesting. I had no idea that he developed his theory of special relativity before the age of 30 (he was 26), was a citizen of six different countries, a pacifist and his Nobel Prize winnings went to his ex-wife, per a promise he made her. Einstein's second wife, Elsa Einstein, was his cousin on both sides of the family. After several attempts to earn a doctorate degree, Einstein finally wrote a dissertation that earned him one. Shortly after, he was invited to receive an honorary doctorate.
