Einstein isn’t the only person to have ever come up with an equation that changed the world. But he’s the only one the majority of people can recognize and his is the only equation the majority of people remember.
Do you think he’d be so well known if he’d had a normal hair cut and a smaller mustache?
These are the things I wonder when I’ve been watching a lot of NOVA and then I spend a morning on morphine (yes, I’ve been wondering this for more than a week now).
I am an educator and PhD. I quilt, belly dance, run, read, and try to grow things. I am a Mormon. I am infertile. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, grand-daughter, friend, wife, and mom.

While you’re still on morphine (hopefully not too much longer), it will be a very funny series to watch.
