Albert Einstein quiz: What do you know about the life of the famous theoretical physicist?
Einstein solved the world in his head. How much do you know about his life and work?

As one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, Albert Einstein has become synonymous with genius. He taught himself geometry and calculus while living in Germany in his teens before training in Switzerland to become a math teacher. Unable to find a teaching position, Einstein bounced around until he completed a doctorate in physics in 1905 and began publishing groundbreaking scientific papers that ultimately changed the world.
But Einstein had other interests that are less well known — he was a staunch pacifist, invented an early refrigerator and called himself a "deeply religious non-believer." What do you know about the man, the myth, the genius Einstein? Time to take a quantum leap, because this quiz will test what you know about the famous physicist!
