Today is Albert Einstein’s Birthday. Happy Birthday, Al!
Albert Einstein’s name seems to always be connected with the word, "genius." Would it surprise you to learn that Einstein was educated at home? He couldn’t make it in public school. He was just (by his own description) "too curious." (I can’t help but wonder what the California courts would have done with a quirky, curious kid like him, but that’s not important right now.)
It also happens to be Pi Day. (Yes, Pi, but it’s pronounced – "PIE".)
Pi, Greek letter (
) is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi = 3.1415926535
Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th. Which is today.
You’re probably wondering what our Einstein’s Birthday/Pi Day celebration consists of.
Well, there’s chocolate, apple, and of course, pizza!
(I think Albert would have been proud. =D)
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~Albert Einstein
It is a good thing Einstein didn’t live in CA as a child, they would have given him Ritalin and taken away is pie. 🙂
That is one of absolute favorite quotes ever. I’ve had it taped to my PC monitor for years now.
