Mr. Genius





" I have no special talents ,I am only passionately curious ;) " One of the century s greatest and mysterious minds answered when asked about himself.

It will be wrong if we say Einstein was the only genius , it is pertinent to say we all are geniuses. Do we need a clarification about ourselves ?

Einstein was never a first rank holder or 10 pointer. He did not even struggle for the top slot, but he passionately learnt Mathematics and Physics ! He had developed a logical and ever curious thought process. He believed in math and physics , he worked out these subjects independently and creatively. He questioned stereotypical way of thinking and chose to follow what he felt right.

Sources say Einstein had a memory like a sieve , but he was a genius he only remembered what was necessary for him and utilized his power of logical reasoning. He too had his dose of ups and downs , school academia considered him as a rebel as he was opposed to the mediocre examination system. Pure thinking and freedom of thought were necessary for Einstein and till the end he had his own opinion on every issue. Be it Physics or politics Einstein had his own theory , it is said legends have always kept their thinking simple, though their life may have turned complex at times . Mr Genius s life was not of much interest , but Einstein and his thinking has continued to be a subject of interest.

Everybody knows this genius who made a scientific breakthrough by aptly defining Time ! Its amazing to ponder over the theory he developed. All he said was time cannot be defined , its very confusing but lets give it a try . On Earth we have a standard time defined as 60 seconds amount to 1 minute , 60 minutes is 1 hour and 24 hours is one day, now consider another planet there the time may be defined as 1 hour of Earth as one second on that planet. We often say this, " Happy moments pass quickly, where as difficult times drag on ! " hence Mr Genius said Time is relative . That means time cannot have a single standard definition. This was my attempt at Theory of Relativity, though it has left me in confounding state ! Now let us believe we have not come across this theory, be honest and lets try thinking about time. .....5 seconds to go...think ....3 sec..2 sec..stop ! Our first thought that flashed across our minds was , a picture of a watch and seconds tickling by as we thought on , did we for a moment think time has no structure and probably it is not defined ? Do we see the complexity now ?We better agree Einstein was a true genius rather than getting lost in the complexity !

We can proudly say " I am better than Einstein" and it will prove out to be true if we harness the invincible power of our brain. If we develop a curious and logical thinking we can get answers to all the unsolved theories in nature. By merely asking a question we can kick start our thinking process , but if we want to get to the bottom of the mystery we need persistent thinking. Einstein always emphasized imagination is much more necessary than knowledge, almost everything can be imagined by our mind. If we closely observe Mr Genius s life he was always delighted to work with Physics , he carried that child-like charisma everywhere which kept his mind craving for more and more. Our mind should be dictated only by us and not influenced by blind beliefs.Our ancestors knew how our minds work and to make it easier for us they defined few beliefs. These beliefs were followed by ordinary people who could not understand complex scientific logics. This does not mean our generation should do the same , we all realize we can think on our own ! This should empower our thoughts and reason out all our ancient beliefs while acknowledging its importance in our lives.
