William Newton And Einstein Research Paper

William, Newton and Einstein all shared a common characteristic that set them apart from the rest of us mortals. They all self-identified with their capability to concentrate with the intensity that most of us struggle with. They found themselves alone with their thoughts and ideas, which brought about scientific discoveries which translated into life events that changed the world.
Take for example when William Kamkwamba realized his family could no longer afford to pay for his tuition. He was heart-broken, he loved his school, his friends but he also recognized he wanted to keep learning. Williams says, ‘he needed something to trick his brain into being happy.’ School is all he could think about. Most of us think about our love, our vacation, William found himself thinking about school, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. This is where William would find himself alone with his books and thoughts. He was alone in a small modest library in Wimbe. He would spend his mornings, afternoons learning about Physics and how electricity is made. …show more content…
When Einstein found himself alone with his thoughts, it was at these moments he was able to think deeply and critically about his ideas. In 1902 Einstein found himself working at a Swiss patent office in Bern. As Einstein put it, it gave him the “opportunity to think about physics.” By 1904 Einstein was about deliver a life event that would change the scientific world, Einstein overhauled our understanding of the physical universe.
Newton, Einstein and William Kamkwamba also shared a passion for dealing with ideas and not so much with events. Take for example the stories found in our text book ‘Five Equations That Changed the World’ Guillen shares the story of Newton being punched in the gut. Newton was so focused on his idea surrounding his miniature mill wheel and ignored an event that involved a school bully kicking him in the
