James Franck, the physicist had long conversations with Einstein, and from those later on he wrote about his friend.
have you watched the drama documentary ?
its very disturbing
very sad to see such an amazing mind be destroyed by illness
i was almost crying at the end
crying on the inside
i felt soo sad & depressed at the end of the docu-drama.
the subnarative suggested frank had alternative thoughts around some things
& was attempting to represent Einstein rather than just cold quote him
there were documented arguments between them about this very issue i believe.
Einstien was always half way between humble & shocked at the wider more ignorant world
how he expressed himself is generally fairly modestly & always through a different filter
i wonder if you have people confused ?
maybe you have been reading some fringe material rather than reading the majority of information
retarded

Einstein maintained he made no attempt to talk until he was past three, and his parents feared that he was mentally retarded.
Two years later when he began elementary school, his teachers, far from rating him a thinker, revived early fears that he was mentally retarded

Dr. Witelson said the theory was supported by an oft-repeated story that Einstein's mother was worried that he might be retarded because his head seemed large and misshapen at birth and his speech was slow to develop.

The Connecticut Association for Children with Learning Disabilities, under the headline, “Some Kids with Learning Disabilities Do Okay for Themselves,” writes: “Years ago there was a three-year-old child who couldn’t learn to talk. At eight, he still couldn’t read. His teachers thought he was retarded. He wasn’t. Albert Einstein had a learning disability.”3

Young Albert didn't speak until he was three. Even afterwards his parents expressed concerns that he might be retarded. At 10, Albert showed himself a mediocre student at a Catholic primary school - but one noted for his stubbornness and sense of personal principles.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. He was the son of middle-class, irreligious Jewish parents, who sent him to a Catholic school. Einstein was slow in learning to speak, and at first his parents feared that he might be retarded; but by the time he was eight, his grandfather could say in a letter: “Dear Albert has been back in school for a week. I just love that boy, because you cannot imagine how good and intelligent he has become.”

New York - A new book claims that Albert Einstein's illegitimate daughter was born severely retarded, possibly with Down's syndrome, and died at 21 months after a bout with Scarlet fever.
i cant see any legitimate scholarly people or organizations making any such claim to a quote from Einstein
it all appears to be environmentally sourced as a back story around subjective opinions of others OF his childhood in a specific time
What more proof that the reports of his teachers and he cataloguing himself as a retarded.
why mix 2 drastically different things together while not providing any proof of either
i have provided plenty of references to other people making subjective opinions of what THEY think other people long dead before them
possibly MIGHT have thought about Einstein
come on !
your long since finished flogging of a dead horse, is now you dragging a piece of rotting meat behind you & calling it a lively breeding pair of quality stock animals
LoL !
now your trolling !
About his brain, you have mentioned something very interesting, at one zone of his brain there is an abnormal extesnsion, to which his supporters claim was the cause for him to be a genius. However, an abnormal extension of any organ in our bodies is just that, an abnormality.
brain abnormalities are all based on generic symmetry
all extremely smart people have something dissimilar from every other very smart person your not selling socialism as a brain function
one part being lightly larger than another is not "abnormal" it is "normal"
& the application of "retard" is used to infer a deficiency
to retard something is to slow it down
modern science shows learning speeds differ .... = subjective opinion ...
if i was to assume you to be a smart person
i would clearly interpret your post to be pointed towards a trolling nature.
but you honestly believe what your saying ?
maybe you need to define your words a little more & do some more reading around what others said Einstein said
soo much of it is surrounded in mystery because soo many did not want others to get an upper hand in such advanced ideas
your just poking at the surface of a pond with a stick
