愛因斯坦癖好大公開：狂愛吃雞蛋
Albert Einstein: he really was an egghead
Albert Einstein is perhaps the world's greatest scientist. The Nobel Prize winner, who solved the riddle of the photoelectric effect and proposed the general theory of relativity, died on April 18, 1955, aged 76 after laying the foundation of modern physics and changing mankind's views on space, time, mass, and energy. But did you know he was obsessed by fried eggs? That's one of 10 quirky things about the man behind the famous equation E = mc 2 that we learn from the book Einstein at Home, which will be published in English in May 2016 for the first time. The book contains five interviews conducted by scientist Friedrich Herneck with Herta Waldow, née Schiefelbein, who was the live-in housekeeper of Einstein in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin for six years.
阿爾伯特•愛因斯坦可能是世界上最偉大的科學家. 他是諾貝爾獎得主, 破解了光電效應的謎題, 提出了廣義相對論, 奠定了現代物理學的基礎, 改變了人類對空間, 時間, 質量和能量的認識. 他于1955年4月18日逝世, 享年76歲. 但是, 你知道他對煎蛋非常癡迷嗎. 我們也是從 '愛因斯坦的家庭生活' 這本書知道的. 這個提出著名等式E = mc 2的科學家有10個癖好, 都收錄在這本書中. 此書的英文版將于2016年5月第一次出版. 書中還收錄了科學家弗里德里希•赫爾內克對赫塔•沃爾多女士的五次采訪, 沃爾多女士曾經在愛因斯坦位于柏林夏洛滕堡-威爾默斯多夫區的家中當了六年的住家管家.
下面,我們就來看看這本書中揭秘的愛因斯坦的那些"怪癖".
The mad hair came on the cheap
凌亂的頭發是省錢省出來的
Einstein's second wife was his cousin Elsa Loewenthal. Elsa could not persuade Einstein to pay for a barber so she would cut his hair herself. Waldow recalled: "When his hair was too long, when it was beyond the pale, Elsa would cut off his hair with scissors and he was willing to put up with it. As well as his disheveled hair, Elsa also trimmed the great scientist's moustache.
愛因斯坦的第二任妻子是他的堂姐艾爾莎•洛文塔爾.艾爾莎沒法勸服愛因斯坦,讓他花錢找理發師理發,只能自己給他剪.沃爾多回憶說："當他的頭發長得太長,長得讓人無法忍受時,艾爾莎就會拿剪子給他剪頭發,他也愿意讓她這么剪.除了修剪凌亂的頭發,艾爾莎還會給這個大科學家刮胡子.
