Vortexes Indenting                our World Janet Kuypers 3/15/19 Yesterday I enjoyed reveling in knowledge about Albert Einstein, since yesterday was his birthday. March Fourteenth passed and I reflected on his past, and even on his scruffy misdemeanor; why worry about grooming when you’re redefining the laws of nature. And redefine he did — I mean, I can understand equating the bending of spacetime like a vortex indenting any surface, buy my mind won’t bend to comprehend the slowing or speeding of time. Then again, the only way I’d see that for certain is if I got too close to a black hole, staying in one piece to understand the change in time. But anyway, as I say, yesterday was a great day for reveling in science, thanks to a man who had to leave Nazi Germany, fearing the formulas that he created could be used to help annihilate all of mankind. I know this pacifist’s choice to write the U.S. President, asking him to make this bomb before Germany did, weighed heavy on his mind. I just hope it wasn’t so heavy, making him unable to make additional leaps of a physicist’s faith, because one physicist did, Stephen Hawking, battling not only the scientific world but also ALS, living much, much longer than my friend, who even used the same voice box. I thought for a while yesterday, on March Fourteenth, what amazing things these two scientific minds could create, until I realized that I reflected on the wonder of Albert Einstein on the day of his birth, as well as the wonder of Stephen Hawking on the day he passed away. What gravity a single day can take to the scientific world, as well as the world’s goals as a whole. One day, a day most correspond now to with the beginning of the number Pi, but three fourteen is a day that is more than just about equations. It is also about the greatest recent scientific minds, opening the world to more than just equations. Trust me.
