#7 Santiago Ramón y Cajal: el niño gamberro al que no dejaban dibujar

#6 Hay más. Para su tesis de final de carrera quiso presentar la relatividad especial. El profe se la rechazó porque era algo demasiado raro. Así que se fue a llorarle a un amigo suyo y se sentaron a tomar café en una cafetería en Zurich. Estaba Einstein removiendo el café cuando se le ocurrió que podía presentar algún estudio sobre la velocidad de difusíón del azucar en el café. Lo hizo, y así demostró la existencia de las moléculas, algo que por aquel entonces no estaba claro del todo.

Sabemos que le gustaba el café con azucar. Pero quizás nunca sabremos si era concebollista, aunque estoy casi seguro de que sí.

#5 Hay una leyenda rara diciendo que le habían dado notas bajas. Algo así como un 6. La realidad es que la nota máxima era el 6.

Contrary to popular belief, Albert Einstein did not obtain low qualifications in school. In fact, he generally performed well, especially in mathematics and physics.

Einstein's academic journey was as follows:

1. He excelled in elementary school, ranking first in his class multiple times[4].

2. At age 15, Einstein left the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich due to his dislike of the rigid atmosphere, not because of poor performance[4].

3. At 16, he took the entrance exam for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. While he failed the language and history sections, he excelled in mathematics and physics[5].

4. Following the advice of the institute's director, Einstein enrolled in a Swiss secondary school in Aarau to complete his formal schooling[5].

5. In September 1896, at the age of 17, Einstein successfully passed his "Matur" (Swiss A-levels) with good grades[2]:

- He received the highest possible grade (6) in algebra, geometry, physics, and history.
- His overall average grade was 5, which is equivalent to "good" on the Swiss grading scale.

6. Einstein graduated from the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School (now ETH Zürich) in 1900 with a degree in mathematics and physics[1][3].

It's important to note that Einstein never failed a class throughout his academic career[2]. While he may not have excelled in every subject, his performance in mathematics and science was consistently strong, contradicting the myth of Einstein being a poor student.

#3 Gracias por documentarlo. Siempre tuve entendido que lo de Einstein y los estudios era una leyenda urbana.

Einstein abandonó el bachillerato en el último curso

Sí, seguro que sí.

Yes, Albert Einstein did finish high school. He initially dropped out of the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich, Germany, at the age of 15. This was partly due to his disdain for the school's rigid, rote learning environment, which he felt stifled creativity.

Subsequently, Einstein took the entrance exam for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at the age of 16, but he failed the language and history sections. Upon the advice of the principal, he enrolled in a Swiss secondary school in Aarau that fostered "free thinking". He graduated from this school in 1896. This qualified him to enter the Federal Institute in Zurich.
