In the history of science, Einstein is regarded as the greatest scientist in the 20th century, the second greatest scientist after Newton, the originator, master and founder of modern physics, and a famous thinker and philosopher. In terms of global popularity, Einstein may be more famous than Newton and Galileo.

In the field of science, it is not difficult to get a doctorate or become a professor at a prestigious school. It is not difficult to achieve ordinary IQ and hard work, but to be great to Newton or Einstein, talent and high IQ are probably needed.

For Einstein's IQ, most experts think it is between 160 and 190, with the lowest estimate of 146 and the highest estimate even reaching 270. You know, 80% of the people in the world have IQs between 80 and 120, and those with IQs over 140 are considered geniuses, accounting for less than 0.5% of the population.

However, from birth, toddler, and even primary and secondary schools, Einstein's cleverness is basically only known to himself. In the memory of many relatives, friends and neighbors, Einstein was clumsy when he was a child, unresponsive, his buttons were always misplaced, things were always lost, and he could not speak when he was over three years old. His parents once worried that he was dumb and took him to see a doctor.

When Einstein was in primary school and middle school, he spoke slowly, acted slowly, had poor memory, was not good at communicating with his classmates, and his academic performance was average. Of course, it is hard for teachers and classmates to like him. After living in a middle school student named Louis Polder in Munich for six years, Einstein's memories were particularly depressed, lonely and painful. In his study, he is poor in all subjects except mathematics, especially those that require a lot of rote learning. In life, being out of step with classmates is considered as "withdrawn by nature". In the eyes of teachers, he is not only "mentally retarded", but also "undisciplined, absent-minded and fond of dreaming" ... But in fact, Einstein's early wisdom and precocity were covered up by these "poor hours" stories and exam transcripts, and it is probably far beyond the imagination of ordinary people to really explore.

Under the age of 16, I have taught myself analytic geometry and calculus.

Fortunately, the painful experience of primary and secondary schools did not make Einstein feel inferior or distort or even retaliate against society. On the contrary, it produced a strong reaction, which stimulated him to cherish his personality and ideological independence more.

Einstein recalled in his later years: "When I was a precocious teenager, I deeply realized that most people's endless hopes and efforts are worthless. Moreover, I soon discovered the cruelty of this pursuit, which was more carefully hidden in hypocritical and beautiful words than today. Everyone is destined to participate in this pursuit, just because he has a stomach. Moreover, his stomach may be satisfied because he participated in this chase; However, a thoughtful and emotional person cannot be satisfied with this. "

It is incredible that a teenager has such thinking and judgment ability. I don't know how many people live to be seventy or eighty years old, but I don't necessarily know this.

Einstein is a die-hard opponent of "spoon-feeding" teaching method, but what is more valuable may be his original views on what schools should teach. He believes that school education "should not put the acquisition of professional knowledge in the first place." "The goal of schools should be to cultivate individuals with independent actions and independent thinking, but they should take serving the society as their highest purpose in life."

"through professional education, he (a student) can become a useful machine, but he can't become a harmonious development person ... he must clearly distinguish beauty from moral goodness. Otherwise, he, together with his professional knowledge, is more like a trained dog than a harmonious person. "
