strange. How did they think he was strange? Well‚ on his first day of class he came dressed in pants that were too short and he had his notes on a single scrap of paper. But after talking for a few minutes‚ his students knew that they had a very special teacher. He cared about physics and about his students. He enjoyed talking to his students and would interrupt his own work just to help them. He was always welcoming questions and often invited his students to a local cafe or his home to continue

or lost by the system will cause a change in momentum that is not the result of an external force. A different equation is necessary for variable-mass systems (see below). Newton’s second law requires modification if the effects of special relativity are to be taken into account‚ because at high speeds the approximation that momentum is the product of rest mass and velocity is not accurate. Newton’s second law states that an object will change acceleration if pushed or pulled upon. An

He was a man of determination‚ strength‚ struggle and a curiosity of the unknown. This is a man who dared dream to influence society‚ challenge the strong and overcome the weak minded. But there was a time when Albert was just a kid‚ and like all kids he had
