Albert Einstein 3 - The Compass Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Albert Einstein 3 - The Compass
When Albert was five years old,
His father - Hermann, gifted him a compass.
Albert was fascinated by this small instrument.
The northward swing of the needle captured his attention
A seed of curiosity sprung in his tender mind.
Even at such a young age,
He realised that there was an invisible force,
A power that existed in nature.
For Albert, the compass created an admiration,
An awe that continued to haunt him,
A strong inquisitiveness to know more of
The unseen forces in and around objects of nature.
This quest in search of truth lasted his whole life.
Einstein experimented a lot on abstract things.
But he was also interested in practical applications.
In physics, his theories were tested by various means,
And confirmed through experiments.
In 1915, at the age of thirty six, Einstein said:
"In my old age, I am acquiring a passion for experiment."
A Biographical Poem
Fantastic! ! ! ! ! To read him really inspires to do something for this world.
A wonderful retelling of key points in young Albert's life. I imagine in 1915,36 was considered old, since life expectancy was not very high. Still very odd to hear that statement of fact. The compass, a prophetic small gift, pointing to a lifetime of achievement.
A seed of curiosity turned into a 'strong inquisitiveness to know more of The unseen forces in and around objects of nature'. Very apt portrait of Albert Einstein who was driven by his scientific temperament since his childhood. Thanks a lot.
