Albert Einstein found school very difficult. His teacher would
tap her pointer against the blackboard impatiently while
she waited for him to answer
her questions. But Albert always had
to think about many things before he could
answer. After all, he would say to himself, there
are many different things to
think about before you can say anything
is absolutely certain. When his teacher wasn't asking Albert
a question, Albert would
think of a question to ask her.
And often when he did, she would get red
in the face and angry at Albert for thinking up
questions she couldn't
answer. The more Albert learned, the more
he found to think about. The more he thought
about, the more questions he
thought of to ask. He knew that
the Earth, other planets, the moon, and the sun
are just part of what we
call the universe. He knew
that the universe is also made up of
all the stars we can see with our eyes and
millions and millions more
that we can see only with the largest
telescopes. He thought there must be some rules to
explain why everything in
the universe acts as it does. Finally he
believed he had some of the answers. And then
people started asking him
questions because he had answer for many things that scientists
had been trying to figure out for many, many years. |
