Einstein met his wife Mileva Maric at the Federal Polytechnic in Zurich (ETH, Zurich) in 1896 where he went to study mathematics and physics. They graduated in 1900 and got married in 1903. Years after, they separated in 1914 when Maric learned that Einstein was dating his first cousin Elsa Lowenthal. They got officially divorced in 1919.
Same year in 1919, Einstein married his first cousin, Elsa Lowenthal having had relationship with her for seven years since 1912.
In 1905 at the age of 26, Einstein published four groundbreaking papers on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relaticity and the equivalence of mass and energy, which brought him to limelight in the academic world. He had obtained his PhD earlier the same year, from the Universiy of Zurich.
Upon the death of Chaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel, Prme Minister David Ben-Gurion offered Einstein the position of President of Israel, but he respectfully declined, and said he was "deeply moved", and "at once saddened and ashamed" that he could not accept it
The FBI created a secret dossier on Einstein in 1932, and by the time of his death in 1955, his FBI file was 1,427 pages long.

Einstein clarified he is not an atheist, but prefers to call himself an agnostic or a "deeply religious nonbeliever." He did not believe in a personal God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings, a view he described as naive. When asked if he believed in life after death, he replied, "No. And one life is enough for me."
On April 17, 1955, Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He refused surgery, saying, "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share: it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."
He went to the hospital with the draft of a speech he was preparing to deliver but couldn't complete it. He died the next morning at the age of 76.

Pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey of the Princeton Hospital removed Einstein's brain without the permission of his family. He hoped that the future neuroscience would use it to discover what made Einstein so intelligent.
