| "I never said half the crap people say I did" - Albert Einstein |
So you didn't develop the General Theory of Relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics nor the world's most famous equation, E=mc2
But you would be surprised of how the infamous physicist, Albert Einstein, was in many ways just a regular dude.
This notion that Einstein wasn't immune to the typical trials and tribulations of life was confirmed recently when a free archive of Einstein's writings were published showing his human side . The "Digital Einstein" project at the Princeton University Press is a translated, transcribed and annotated with historical insight of Einstein's early years. "This is Einstein before he was famous," says California Institute of Technology historian Diana Kormos-Buchwald, director of the Einstein Papers Project that created the new archive, a collaboration of Caltech, Princeton and Hebrew University. "This material has been carefully selected and annotated over the last 25 years."
So how does this collection of letters, lectures and papers from Albert Einstein's birth certificate in 1879 to his 44th birthday in 1923 illustrate that the 20th century's greatest genius was, in a lot of ways just a regular dude?

| Albert Einstein |
- It well known that Einstein was passed over for his dream gig as a university professor and was forced to accept a position as an examiner at the Swiss Patent Office mainly because he was disrespectful goof-off in college.
Einstein at his home in Princeton, NJ - The young Einstein preferred to drink and chill. "Both of us, alas, dead drunk under the table," Einstein wrote, referring to himself and his wife Mileva Maric, in a 1915 postcard sent to his buddy Conrad Habicht. Habicht was the a co-founder of the Olympia Academy in Bern, Switzerland, a drinking club where friends debated life, philosophy and science.
Albert Einstein has his second wife/first & second cousin Elsa 
Einstein and his first and obvious happy wife Maric - Einstein had lady problems and a ugly divorce. Einstein married Maric in 1903 right after they had a daughter named Lieserl that historians to this day are unsure if the child died in infancy or was given up for adoption. They broke up in 1912 but didn't become legally divorced until 1919. In the same year Einstein married his cousin, Elsa, which most guys honestly can't related to.
Einstein letter to his rascals - Einstein's kids were a pain in the !@#. Einstein actually referred to his two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard, as rascals in a 1922 letter he wrote to them. Unfortunately, Eduard's life famously took a tragic turn when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age 20.
Einstein aren't you suppose to be at the Nobel Prize ceremonies - Einstein chooses a vacation over his career. Einstein actually skipped the Nobel Prize ceremonies to take a trip to the Far East as evident by the letter he sent his sons from Japan after his 1922 trip.
So the Digital Einstein archives emphasis the human side of Albert Einstein and shows that throughout his life he wrestled with his personal world despite all the genius, fortune and fame just like the rest of us.
