Mileva Maric, an aspiring physicist, age 21, met Albert Einstein at
the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich when he was 17. They became lovers, had an illegitimate daughter in 1902, then
married. In 1905, Einstein published 3 papers in a single issue of
the journal Annalen der Physik. The theory of relativity was among
them.
In 1987, his letters to her were published. Some of the language in the letters makes them sound like research partners. "How happy and proud I will be when the two of us will have brought OUR WORK on the relative motion [relativity] to a victorious conclusion!"
That's right Albert Einstein's WIFE discovered the theory of relativity but she got no creditJUST LIKE I GOT NO CREDIT WHEN I GOT IN THE TOP TEN ANSWERERS IN THIS SECTION BUT MY ACCOUNT GOT BANNED FOR ABUSE. ALL I WANT IS CREDIT FOR MY ACHIEVEMENTS WHY IS THIS DENIED TO ME BY THE PATRIARCHY?!
DOES IT FEAR THE POWER OF A STRONG SANE WOMAN? WELL WE'LL JUST BE BACK LOUDER THAN EVER HAHAHAHA
