Yet, there have been reports that, the true genius behind "Einstein's" research and theories, was his wife, and she was never credited with anything, while Einstein got all the credit and press.

However, I don't know about the veracity of those reports, and we'll probably never know the whole truth.

ALL those reports would be some sick leftist fantasy. Leftists always try to tear down the accomplishments of Western Males.

I have read quite a few books on Einstein. He was the real deal -- an incredible genius. His wife could never comprehend the complexity of the mathematics of General Relativity. At times, he did use her as a sounding board; not that he needed one.

I don't know that it's a leftist fantasy or someone trying to tear down his accomplishments. I barely remember the stories I read about her own genius and accomplishments, but, none of them had any political overtones regarding her relationship to Einstein and her and his accomplishments. We need to consider the period in which Einstein came up with his theories and how women were perceived back then. Is it possible that, both she and Einstein knew that, he'd have more credibility with the theories as opposed to a woman, his wife?
