Those ridiculous inventors.
— In no way can I find an assistant, — complained Thomas Edison to Albert Einstein. — Every day young men come but they all are good for nothing.
And how do you find out whether they are good or not? - asked Einstein.Edison showed him a list of questions.
Edison showed him a list of questions.
— The person who answers them is sure to become my assistant.
"How many miles is there between New York and Chicago?" — read Einstein and said: "It is necessary to look up in the railway reference book." "What is stainless steel made of?" — "One can learn about it in the physical metallurgy reference book ... ". Having looked through other questions, Einstein said:
— Without waiting for refusal, I'd rather withdraw my candidature.
Albert Einstein was fond of Charlie Chaplin's films and took a liking to his main character. Once he wrote a letter to Chaplin: "Your film The Gold Rush is clear to everybody in the world, and you will become a great person without fail. Einstein" In his reply to this letter Chaplin wrote: " I admire you even more. Nobody in the whole world understands your theory of relativity, but nevertheless you have become the great person. Chaplin".
The great physicist Gibbs Dzhozajja Uillard was very reserved and used to keep silence at the meetings of the academic council of the university where he was teaching. But at one of the meetings when they were discussing whether to spare more time to mathematics or foreign languages in a new curriculum, he couldn't stand it and made a speech: "Mathematics is a language!" — said the scientist.
Once William Thomson (Lord Calvin) had to cancel a lecture and wrote on the blackboard: " Professor Tomson will not meet his classes today ". The students decided to play a trick on the professor and erased the letter "c" in the word "classes". Next day, when Thomson saw the inscription, he did not become confused, and, having erased one more letter in the same word, left the classroom.
Once in the evening Ernest Rezerford came to his laboratory. Though it was rather late, he saw one of his numerous students there.
— What are you doing here so late? — asked Rezerford.
— I am working, — answered the young scientist.
— And what do you do during the day time?
— I work, of course, — was the answer.
— And do you work early in the morning, too?
— Yes, Professor, I work in the morning, too, — said the fellow, waiting for the famous scientist's praise.
Rezerford grew gloomy and asked with irritation:
— And when do you think?
During his leisure hours the author of the third law of thermodynamics Walter Nernst was breeding carps. Once someone said:
— What a strange choice! Even hens are more interesting to breed.
Nernst replied calmly:
— I am breeding the animals which are in the thermodynamic balance with the environment. To breed the warm-blooded would mean to warm the world space with my own money.
