Title: Einstein's Wife, Mileva Maric
Post by william wu on Oct 29^th, 2003, 8:00pm

Recently there was an interesting TV show on PBS (public broadcasting station, in the United States) about Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric Einstein. It revealed lots of dirty information about Einstein's relationship with Mileva, ranging from pet names ("smoochie") to detestable physical abuse. There's even speculation that Mileva -- whom also demonstrated scientific promise in math and physics -- collaborated with Einstein in the writing of the seminal papers circa 1905, without due credit.

You can read more at the following very pretty website which accompanies the show: http://www.pbs.org/opb/einsteinswife/index.htm
