God bless CZcamsrs like you .
I enjoyed your video
Nice you are genius .
Hi tibee how are you
Einstein after exams: who cares about my grades.
Tibees 100 years later- yes
😂😂
Lol
*I didn't know that ppl in the 21st century would care...*
Lm
😂😂😂
"he skipped class and got notes from his friends"
ah, I guess Einstein and I are not so different
This is so me 😂
I've never done this as I'm not bright enough to do so. This had me in deep thought, though: If you're into this type of 'laziness' you gotta have friends who are bright enough to take good notes, or you're both f*cked lol. Lucky, Albert
S am e
yes you are :`D
There’s something called a joke 😳
I think it's not about the grades.. It's where the passion lays
Its both bruh
Ya think
@@cherrynado I took biology in class 11th (Im from India so I dont know how it is for you) I want to pursue my passion in marine or some other kind of biology, honestly I would have laughed at someone saying something like this to me an year ago but now I dont want to be a doctor. I have no reason to say this to you but I felt like saying this to someone.
@@cherrynado He meant that it's about intelligence and passion, not grades specifically. But typically if your grades are high you are intelligent. Especially in stem subjects.
Very true, most people can get good grades if they try even if they aren't smart
Obviously already at the age of 16 (!) he had a clear and strong dedication to physics. He followed his dedication without compromises and with no attempt to make teachers or other authorities happy.
Wish that were possible today but uni now is so full of bloat and courses that have zero relation to your degree but are required to even graduate yet costs hundreds to thousands of dollars.

The fact that Einstein had such good grades even though he hated school is the biggest flex 💪🤣
People who got a 4 on french:
“Guess im smarter than Einstein”
Lol nowadays atleast in Finland that would be the lowest possible
"french people laugh"
Actually today a 3 is better than 4 in germany.

As someone who is currently studying/struggling at ETH, it's actually really reassuring to see that Einstein himself didn't even get that good grades there.
maybe watch the video? he got REALLY good grades.
not REALLY, they were just good but not exceptional@@pongmaster123
Um anyone gonna tell him
What are you studying? I am currently in first year of CS at ETH
It's really interesting to me how Einstein isn't this super genius who is always right, he's just a regular genius who's always right about a very specific set of things.
teachers : einstien u could have scored better
also teachers (after a few years) : stuggling to understand einstien's thesis
ahahahahahah

Friends trying to cheer you up: Oh, don't worry, nobody is gonna remember or care about you getting ONE D in math one time.

1 would be an F though.
@@carlitosaqui It's it strange that there is no E but it skips down to F?
F just sounds harsher , it's for the effect

Your researches in physics and math are quite important, even profound: because you insist on starting with the primary documents. I hope you continue with these investigations- you are surely an inspiring and fascinating student;I have been watching your material for years, and I have always been able to find gems within the vast material you explore! Thank you!
I like how a 6 and 5, litterally the closest you can get to a perfect score is reffered to as a "fairly high score". Nowaydays only perfect scores get recognition, at Einsteins time those scores were so much harder to achieve.
Einstein is so relatable when he says that examinations are just something that you cram for and how it makes you lose all interest in actually learning the subject. Good to know that education hasn't changed since then.
Watching this while cramming for a math test lololol
@InSpaceDude even if you have 200 iq but without the certificate you can't get a job
Study for the test to only forget it after a few weeks, so pointless and waste of energy.
If only we could make education system be a bit more "learn on demand", like when I go to stackoverflow to look for solutions to problems.
Ikr
It's definitely embarrassing for our world lol but it's REALLY starting to not work now where we defo need to change a lot, governments have been talking about "decolonializing" schools but i'm not quite sure what they mean by that but it seems to be a lot about acceptance of everyone i just hope it means a lot more than that (probably false hopes lol), i can hope for future generations though.
I've decided never to become famous if people are going to just casually dig up my grades like this.
i mean, they kind of have a use, they kind of quantify your understanding and effort on school.
Lmao😂
@Super Cool and you are literally commented under a video about a successful persons grades.
Thats why is u ever become famous burn them up AND SAVE THE HIGHEST GRADEs.
Don't worry, you won't be famous.
My bachelor grades are pretty bad, but considering that I rarely studied I did quite well. Have 3 exams left, hopefully starting my masters in October where I know I'll do better. Covid, the loss of several family members and laziness have lowered my grades.
Sorry for your loss. Good luck in graduate school.
Relativity also applies here: grades are a subjective measure relative to the teacher's reference frame
Clever lol
Einstein parents: you could have done better!
Einstein: Calm down, its not like im einstein or something!

It's never too late to learn more about the things you're interested in : )
LOL!
You´re not likely to disclose the uncharted by following the paved road.
He was a bad student. He was also gifted at the same time. Being a bad student doesn't mean you don't get good grades it means you don't follow academia rules, but yourself and it's clear Einstein did what he felt like and not what his school prescribed for him which is the absolute nightmare of modern academia. He wasn't perfect probably because he thought his assignments were stupid, so he didn't bother to do them and that's indeed an awful student. Just because Einstein is gifted and got good grades doesn't mean he was a good or average student it means he performed well at that which he was gifted at and cared about; he may of been an exceptional student of physics, but he was no good student in the general sense of the word.
One cannot reduce a student to a set of grades. Einstien wasn't an exceptional student... But yet he was clearly a Genius! He also taught himself the necessary mathematics to forge his theories on Relativity *after* leaving University. I.e. Einstien flourish when he left mainstream academia... When he was free to educate himself and pursue his interests.
So forget grades! What it all boils down to at the end of the day, is Discipline, Hardwork and the willingness to pursue your Dreams... At *any* cost!
Being a Genius helps too of course, but I believe that the more you push brain, the stronger and more efficient it becomes! And sure, some have to push harder than others, but anyone can achieve Great Things if they put their minds to it....
And that is precisely why Einstein is, and shall always be, a Hero and an Inspiration to me!
Thanks for sharing.I am Swiss and know these places well,glad I could see his original results and his struggles in higher school.
as a physics student at ETH it`s so interesting to see how the lectures and subjects were organized and called back then.. and i feel pretty good about him having not so much higher grades than me ^^ (i`m in the first year)

I wonder how many ppl wonder ^^
back then only very few genius ppl could go at all to school, or even university. Nowadays it's almost standard, and a lot of things are less conservative than back then. Still too conservative, but no comparison
Very nice review. So difficult to find this info all together in such a useful presentation.
Loving this video! Thank you! Amazing insight I would have never seen on my own
Imagine being a techer that gave 1 to Albert Einstein.
=DD imagine being kids of that teacher
@@vladislavgorshkov737 lol the kid not even know the work of the parent.
So? He didn’t go to class, so he deserved the 1. You don’t get good grades for your “intelligence.” It doesn’t mean that Einstein wasn’t smart, it was just because he didn’t earn it in that class. Simple as that.
CaptDF97 yeah you do get grades for your intelligence correct me if I’m wrong but that’s how it works at my school 🤷🏻♀️
r o x a n n e .r e y e s Imo, you get grades for demonstrating your “intelligence” and understanding of the subject (I put intelligence in air quotes because intelligence can be viewed from many angles and not everyone will equate academic success with intelligence)

When you realize that Einstein was born on pi day.... then you remember that Stephen Hawking passed away on the same day...
@unknowning unknown well its just march 14th. 3.14 like come on.
@unknowning unknown ffs of course there isnt gonna be real pi day smartass. Pi time will happen at some point in pi day though. 3 months into the year, 14 days into the month, 15 years into the century, 9th century you get the point. You could knock this down to fractions of the second if you go the other way around with hours minutes seconds forever getting smaller until you reach the sweet spot that is pi. If you're so smart (or at least you try to look so smart) then why don't you recite me 100 digits of pi?

I felt the same way when I was in school. Luckily, I could sit in lectures and absorb enough to get passing grades with little other effort. Instead, I applied myself to outside interests, mostly electronics (ham radio and digital logic), and then computer programming.
Imagine how the teachers and his friends must have felt after Einstein was known all over the world for making remarkable discoveries.
Probableyproud??? The whole point of this vid is to show people that he got good grades, especially in the maths and physics. Contrary to general perceptions throughout his life. When Einstein became famous in his early twenties, these beliefs were so universal that in frustration one of his elementary teachers hauled out report cards and showed people there beliefs were not true.

thanks. great video!
The myth that Einstein had poor grades in high school was perpetrated when I was in high school (early 70's - yes I'm old). It's nice to see that myth dispelled as I believed it for years.
As far as I am concerned 6 in Germany is like the lowest you can get. I do not have sound on so cannot hear what the girl is saying.
he was quite bad because people need to understand that 4 is the lowest pass grade in Switzerland - so he had multiple quite bad grades throughout the years and even failed in school French with a 3.
I agree. You are old.
@xrv0 He went to school in Switzerland, not Germany. The grading system still applies for today.
xrv0 it not high school, in the first place. It’s polytechnic university - ETH
all i've heard: "einstein's grades were bad you know"
his report card: 6/6, 6/6, 6/6, 6/6, 6/6, 5/6, 5/6, 5/6, 5/6, 4/6, 4/6, 4/6, 3/6
ah yes, terrible
(I haven't watched the video yet so I'm sorry if it is in it)
Einstein having bad grades started because a german researcher looked at Einstein's grades in Switzerland and assumed they have the same grading system as germany (where 1 is the best grade and 6 the worst) but in Switzerland 1 is the worst and 6 the best.
I think the guy who spread the rumour was asian

I have the same grades so it must be disgraceful for einstien to have the same grades as me
Fascinating post! Of course you would examine Einstein’s school grades! Makes perfect sense. Cheers
Wow this video really lerned me some stuff about Einstein and its very interesting so thank you for this video
I can imagine the myth comes from the fact that today in Germany, 1 is the highest grade and 6 is the lowest. He's also said to have been dyslexic, so as a fellow German with dyslexia I feel that 3 in French 😂
richtig
Whats dyslexia
@@zzzzzz-mv6iu it’s a learning disability were you’ve problems with writing/reading
French is a struggle for many Swiss students
in Russia it actually has been reversed.
My mom told me about it as we came from Russia that a 5 is what a 1 is in Germany today.
and so on
Some background information on why some people would think that Einstein was a bad student:
In today's Germany, 6 is the worst grade you can get while 1 is the best. That is reversed in Switzerland. When people look at Einstein's grades today and don't know that, they naturally would assume that he was really bad.
Also, greetings from Ulm, Germany, the birthplace of Albert Einstein. :)
A perfect score would be 6666666666.. hmmm i see the obsession of number 6 since time immemorial 😂😂
that's misleading - because only grades 4-6 are pass grades in Switzerland, so he was actually quite bad in the first year of university, and failed in school French - but that isn't a subject you are required to pass in order to get promoted to the next years or finish high school.
@@petahawk I see. Seems stricter than in Germany. Here, 1-4 are pass grades. Anyway, 6 is good no matter what the pass grades are and in Germany the myth focuses on Einstein being bad at mathematics in school.
Kuma
It’s not stricter, it’s a different scale. Two very different things.
petahawk you need to have less than 1.5 points below a 4 (or 2 points if you have an average above a 4.3) . It doesn’t matter in which subjects you are below a 4, you are just not allowed to have 1.5 (or 2) points below a 4.

Einstein was born on Pie Day.
Tesla was born during a thunderstorm.
So, he likes pies?
Whatisbow 28 the math pie 😂
I think you may be looking for pi day
Weird
Einstein liked Apple pie.
Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to do this. My son is very similar. he can recite calculus equations to me at the dinner table but he is barely getting a C- in Calculus. I feel better knowing that Einstein was difficult as well. Maybe that is the personality of somebody gifted??
Moral of the story: Einstein bunked a lot of classes.
Or they just weren't graded.
his not getting a job after getting the best scores is proof education is not just about studying, you have to socialize and interact too. and plan further in the future i guess
@@maimoonakhan7203 Brown nosing your professors is a useful career tactic if you want a future in the university as a professor. If you are too intelligent, they begin to fear their future access to grants with you as their competition.
Imagine the things he could have done in this day and age, with the internet and all....he'd be digging out bodies from the dark web
Yeah he’s mad weird💀💀 he’d be that smart emo boy who shows up to class once every two years and he’d probably sit in the back and tell you about how he saw someone get deep fried on the dark web💀💀

Tbh he sounds like a fraud. He could have easily stole ideas from the patent publication office he worked at, revised them and published it himself. Judging by his character, seems like he snaked his way up. I could be wrong but it would be hilarious if it were true.. the suspicion is there in comedy already.
His genius strength was not in doing calculations so it isn’t surprising his test scores weren’t perfect. His intuition was what was beyond everyone else, but that doesn’t help with calculation errors or just plain forgetting things because you didn’t study. The only scores that were actually low were due to spending much more time studying things that interested him at the expense of things he didn’t care for and didn’t even bother showing up for.
I'm over here pressed that I have 7 classes, this man has like 14😭 .
we here in Germany have like 15 subjects depends on your grade
German
English
Math‘s
France/IT/Special economics ( I don’t quite know how tho call this subject in English)
are main Subjects we have to take 4 big exams in a year in those (+tests, oral grade etc.)
Then there are the other subjects
Biologie, Chemistry,Physics,History,Art, Music,Geographie,Economics again, politic‘s and sports
In those we have to take two big exams in a year.
So yeah German school systems are pretty rough
7 wtf how you have so few classes.
Chair // CHair 6-7 classes would be normal for the US state I grew up in.
Core requirements:
4 years English
3-4 years Mathematics (depending on what level you start with)
2-3 years Foreign Language (generally Spanish, again years required depend on your starting level)
1 year Biology
1 year Chemistry
3 years History
1 year Art
And then your remaining classes are filled out with electives according to your interests. I think it ends up being not so different. Just with certain subjects concentrated over a year instead of spread out over all of secondary school. My electives, if I remember correctly, gave me two additional foreign languages, 2 years of physics, and an additional year each of chemistry and biology. Ultimately for me pretty comparable to a German secondary education (from what I understand), although with less economics (some was covered in history/math) and no computer science.
Must be from US.
MigthyDoom Yes i’m from US😭
5:34 omg einstein wasnt always an old man? thats weird. i always imagined him w wrinkles n gray hair no matter what age lmao
Loool 😂
lmao
he was the guy getting all the girls..problem was there were not many girls as smart to go to school back then, even less on university ^^
@@IOIO6 well duh because they didn't receive the same education
@@IOIO6 It's not that they weren't as smart, just that they weren't as well educated.
