He was a solitary man with a sheepdog-like hair who refused to wear socks. For most of his life he was unconcerned about his attire that was often sloppy. He saw himself as an old gypsy, quite handsome and a Jewish saint. He was honored by a botanist who named a flowering cactus after him. (Einstenia.) A synthetic element was also named after him (Einstenium). Many countries honored him with the issue of special stamps bearing his image. The Israeli five pound has his face on one side. Einstein´s human side is just as rich and colorful yet unfortunately it is often ignored or misunderstood. He was the eccentric genius with sheepdog like hair, who dressed in baggy clothes and refused to wear socks. A simple and humble man full of humanity, he detested materialism and believed in a God for all nature rather than an anthropomorphic God who rewards and punishes human beings.
