Wonder Wednesday #8 E=mc2

Wonder Wednesday's prompt is  E=mc2.   I asked poets to pick a quote by Einstein, to inspire their poem. 

 * I just love his hair!

 I kind of wanted the Insanity one, but I noticed  many poets have chosen this one, so I went with a different one.

      " Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. "
                                                                    -Albert Einstein

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. "
-Albert Einstein

Molecular madeness

is seen

in all seasons

dark gray mattered thoughts

enchants us 

with things we 

do not understand

Einstein visits me 

every autumn

he tucks himself in

puzzling places

and then appears

his magic is 

his glorious

Don King hair

it coats 

the astringent 

power 

of his

 syntax magic

he sees our

future

charted

by

the 

stars

in a

sea cast

of

energy

its 

relative

 

History about this fascinating man can be found HERE~

1879

Albert Einstein was born to a middle-class German Jewish family. His parents were concerned that he scarcely talked until the age of three, but he was not so much a backward as a quiet child. He would build tall houses of cards and hated playing soldier. At the age of twelve he was fascinated by a geometry book.

1895

At the age of fifteen Albert quit high school disgusted by rote learning and martinet teachers, and followed his family to Italy where they had moved their failing electrotechnical business. After half a year of wandering and loafing, he attended a congenial Swiss school. The next year he entered the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

1900

After working hard in the laboratory but skipping lectures, Einstein graduated with an unexceptional record. For two grim years he could find only odd jobs, but he finally got a post as a patent examiner. He married a former classmate

1905

Einstein wrote four fundamental papers, all in a few months. The first paper claimed that light must sometimes behave like a stream of particles with discrete energies, "quanta." The second paper offered an experimental test for the theory of heat and proof of the existence of atoms. The third paper addressed a central puzzle for physicists of the day – the connection between electromagnetic theory and ordinary motion – and solved it using the "principle of relativity." The fourth showed that mass and energy are two parts of the same thing, mass-energy (E=mc²).
