The new letter reveals Einstein's love life

Albert Einstein had six lovers and he told his wife that they attacked him fiercely even though he did not want to. That is the information obtained in new letters published on July 10 by the great scientist.

German scientist with messy hair, famous for relativity , spends very little time at home. He lectured in Europe and America, where he died in 1955 at the age of 76. But Einstein wrote hundreds of letters to his family.

The letters were announced earlier Einstein's first wife and two sons, and a letter in the collection (photo: cbsnews) showed his first marriage in 1903 to his wife Mileva Maric, mother of two sons, was extremely unhappy. They divorced in 1919 and soon after he married his cousin, Elsa. With this wife, he also betrayed to go with his secretary, Betty Neumann.

In the new letters revealed yesterday at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Einstein described about six women he was close to and received gifts from them while still being Elsa's husband.

In the early 1980s, Elsa's stepdaughter, Margot, gave 1,400 letters to Hebrew University, which Einstein contributed to the founding. But Margot suggested these letters would not be published until 20 years after she died. She died on July 8, 1986.

Some women described by Einstein include Estella, Ethel, Toni and "Russian spy lover" Margarita. Others are mentioned with an acronym such as M. and L.

"The truth is, M. followed his father to England and she clung wildly to her father," he wrote in a letter to Margot in 1931. "Of all those women, real father just stick with each of Ms. L., she's really harmless and decent ".

In another letter to Margot, Einstein asked his wife's daughter to deliver a small letter to Margarita, to avoid prying eyes.

A new letter also includes replies from the Einstein family. This eliminates the misconception that this Nobel Prize-winning scientist is always cold to his family, Hanoch Gutfreund, Chairman of the Global Exhibition of Albert Einstein at Hebrew University."In these letters, he was very friendly and sympathetic to Mileva and his sons," Gutfeund said.

Gutfeund said that although Einstein's second marriage with Elsa was described as "a marriage of interests" , he still wrote to her almost daily, telling many things including his experiences of travel and teaching in Europe.

"You're going to be fed up with relativism , " Einstein wrote in a postcard to Elsa in 1921. "Even that might become bland when someone is too engrossed in it."

Einstein lived and studied at Oxford in 1930, where he ran away from the fascist army. A German colleague, he said in a letter to Elsa, told him "don't get close to the German border because the anger over you was out of control".

In the same letter written in 1933, nearly a decade before the Second World War and Hitler's Jewish massacre, Einstein wrote: "There is a fear of the Jewish struggles everywhere." We are even pressured by our own strength rather than weakness. "
