Words Of Wisdom – Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is known as one of the greatest minds in history, it’s no surprise he was also filled with many words of wisdom!
When someone says the word genius, most of us conjure up an image of the iconic Albert Einstein with good reason.
He is one of the world’s most influential scientists and inventors in the world, developing the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics alongside quantum mechanics.
In The Beginning
Born in 1979 in Germany, he didn’t talk until he was four years old, and even then he would repeat words and sentences over and over again until he was seven.
His father gave him a simple pocket compass when he was five, which became his favorite toy and led to him developing a passionate curiosity about mathematics, science, and magnetism.
He had no interest in grammar and he loved playing the violin and the piano. Albert said, “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician as I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music and I see my life in terms of music…
I do know that I get most joy in life out of my violin.” Einstein struggled with authority and discipline, leading him to be expelled from a school, one headmaster saying “nothing would ever come of him.”
How wrong they were, by sixteen the budding genius would publish his first scientific paper.
The Famous Theories
In 1915 he rocked the world with his Theory of Relativity. In 1919 the theory was proven right by an experiment.
He became famous literally overnight and all of a sudden he got invitations to go all over the place, as well as getting honors from all over the world!
He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”, a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.
Besides a love of logical things, Einstein also enjoyed nature and music. One of his favorite things to do was to head out onto the lake in a boat and take his notebook with him, to think and write everything down.
He couldn’t swim at all, but he carried on sailing right throughout his life.

Interesting Infographic On Gravity
The physics behind gravity largely determines the make-up of Earth, with tides, weather formations, transport and beyond all determined by our attraction to Earth’s surface.
But, when gravity leaves us, why do we float?. What would life be without gravity?
When asked about what it feels like to walk on the moon at one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, Buzz Aldrin once described the atmosphere as being filled with “magnificent desolation”.
He explained what it felt like to take each step, saying it’s “perhaps not too far from a trampoline, but without the springiness and instability”.
When NASA’s Scott Kelly returned from almost a full year in space seemingly grew two inches while he was up there for a still unexplainable reason.
As fun as experiencing no gravity sounds and looks, there can be some unwanted side effects resulting from it. Lean about “The Science of Weightlessness” in this interesting infographic created by Security Scale Service.

Words Of Wisdom – Hans Zimmer
Hans Zimmer born 12 September 1957) is a German film score composer and record producer. Since the 1980s, he has composed music for over 150 films. His works include The Lion King, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1995, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Interstellar, Gladiator, Inception and The Dark Knight Trilogy.
Although he is considered music genius having composed more than 150 film soundtracks, he had only two weeks of formal music education, having piano lessons as a child, as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons. “My father died when I was just a child, and I escaped somehow into the music and music has been my best friend”, he said in an interview with the German television station ZDF in 2006.
Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and works with other composers through the company that he founded, Remote Control Productions, formerly known as Media Ventures. His studio in Santa Monica, California has an extensive range of computer equipment and keyboards, allowing demo versions of film scores to be created quickly.
Zimmer’s works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has received four Grammy Awards, three Classical BRIT Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. He was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph.

Invention That Cleans Our Oceans
Learn about the amazing boy who invented the incredible machine that helps clean our oceans in this inspiring story!
As a teen, Boyan Slat was scuba diving in Greece and was shocked to see more plastic than fish floating around in the ocean. Amazed that no one made an attempt to fight pollution, he founded ‘The Ocean Cleanup’
Six years ago, the technology was only an idea presented at a TEDx talk. Boyan Slat, the 18-year-old presenter, had learned that cleaning up the tiny particles of plastic in the ocean could take nearly 80,000 years.
Because of the volume of plastic spread through the water, and because it is constantly moving with currents, trying to chase it with nets would be a losing proposition.
Slat instead proposed using that movement as an advantage: With a barrier in the water, he argued, the swirling plastic could be collected much more quickly.
Then it could be pulled out of the water and recycled.
In 2013, Slat founded the non-profit entity The Ocean Cleanup, of which he is now the CEO. The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to develop advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. After the foundation, The Ocean Cleanup managed to raise $2.2 million through a crowdfunding campaign with the help of 38,000 donors from 160 countries.
Since The Ocean Cleanup started, the organization has raised $31.5 million USD in donations from entrepreneurs in Europe and in Silicon Valley, including Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.
“By developing new designs, Boyan Slat estimates that half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be gone within 5 years, at minimal costs. The project will start with one system in mid-2018 and progressively make use of additional systems until it achieves full-scale deployment by 2020.” – Wikipedia
