When Einstein was a child did people say" You're a regular Newton."?

Answer 1

Since themata are strongly related to philosophy and religion, and since these begin forming early in one's life, Einstein's childhood must be examined for events that shaped his thema. Einstein was a peculiar child; he was disproportionately gifted with a visual inclination at the expense of his verbal skills. He did not learn to talk until the age of three, but instead favored nonverbal activities that involved the use of his visual abilities. For example, he loved to build large card houses (AIP, 1996). Also, he was fascinated by a geometry book that he acquired when he was twelve. He would manipulate mental models of the theorems to gain an understanding of the concepts, rather than write out a formal proof: "Only something which did not... seem to be 'evident' appeared to me to be in need of any proof at all" (Holton, 1996, 386).

Additionally, he was raised in a Jewish household and acquired a strong religious faith in his early years. At the age of twelve, this faith ended in a crisis about which he says: "Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment-an attitude that has never again left me..." (Lesikar, 1996).

Einstein was raised in a militaristic school that stressed memorization and verbal learning. He did so poorly here that he was not accepted at a noted university, the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, so instead he went to the Kanton Schule at Aarau. This school followed the philosophy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who believed that "conceptual thinking is built on visual learning" (Holton, 1996, 389). Einstein later explained his visual nature: "The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be 'voluntarily' reproduced and combined" (Holton, 1996, 386-387).

Answer 2

Who gives a fig Newton LOL

Answer 3

But people had to watch the compliments. If you praised him too much he'd say, "Issac of this!"

Hmmmm......go "fig"ure. *shrugs*

Answer 4

hah

Answer 5

No.

It was, "Einstein, you're no genius."

Answer 6

hah..I have missed your questions!! Thanks for the fix.
