Traveling Back to Meet Albert Einstein: Relativity, Curiosity, and the Wonders of the Universe

from Kids Ask History · host Kids Ask History

Jules lands right in the middle of Albert Einstein's cluttered study in Princeton, where the air buzzes with the scratch of chalk on blackboard and the faint musty smell of old books. Einstein is scribbling equations, lost in thought, his wild hair as much a part of his genius look as the papers strewn about. Kids will learn how a simple question about light sparked the theory of relativity, why Einstein believed struggling in school as a kid did not dictate one's future, and the true power of never-ending curiosity about the universe. They'll even find out why Einstein turned down the chance to be the president of a country! Prepare to be amazed by the wonders of asking "Why?" and "What if?" in a journey that proves imagination and inquiry can change the world. **🎧 More Time-Travel Adventures:** Love Kids Ask History?
