Physics and Stuff

Richard Feynman, age 6, learns about inertia:

''My mother made me a scientist without ever intending it. Every other mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school: 'So? Did you learn anything today?' But not my mother. She always asked me a different question. 'Izzy,' she would say, 'did you ask a good question today?' That difference - asking good questions -made me become a scientist!''- I.I. Rabi, Nobel-prize winning physicist

"Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact." -Carl Sagan
