Albert Einstein - Curiosity Killed the Lights

Everybody knows Einstein and how much of a genius he was. People even think that he was one of the most intelligent men in history but it’s amazing how slow the man was growing up. He failed his first entry exam in Federal Institute of Technology. He was also slow to talk and walk as a baby which is funny because I was like that too but I had turned it around when I started school. I believe that Einstein wasn’t as slow as people say he was, I believe that he wasn’t as interested in most subjects other than math or science, he wanted to learn and study what he wanted to, what he thinks is interesting. For example, Bernoulli focused on liquids because he had loved them and always wondered about it or Faraday who focused solely magnetism and electricity. But I wonder what his motivation was? What brought him to create this amazing equation? Out of everything in the world why were space and time the things he wondered most about? That seems like an odd thing to think about, I wonder if he heard about it when he was young or something. Also he was the only man so far to have someone who he loved while he was young (successfully unlike like Newton); none of the others really felt love until they were older. I wonder how that affected him?
