Morning reading: If you could ask Einstein a question, what would you ask?

Classics once shared an Einstein story.

One day, a physics student in Princeton received a request to interview Einstein.

A physics student had the opportunity to interview Einstein. He was very excited. He searched the newspaper all night for all the reports about Einstein. He found that all previous reports about Einstein were superficial.

The reporter will ask, can you tell me something about relativity?

Einstein would say that when you sit with a beautiful woman for an hour, it feels like a minute has passed; When you sit with an old lady for a minute, it feels like an hour.

The physics student thinks that no one has really been exposed to the problems in the smartest brain, so he decides to ask a real question. It took him several nights to read all Einstein's books, and finally at 3: 30 one night, an inspiration came to his mind.

He wrote this line on a piece of paper, folded it up again, put it in his left pocket and fell asleep.

At 2: 30 the next afternoon, he ran to Einstein's door and knocked at the door.

Einstein opened the door, and a living Einstein appeared in front of him, exactly like the photo, with an explosive head and a pair of childlike eyes. He is wearing a brown pajamas and stepping on a wool slipper.

Einstein was making coffee, and the room didn't smell of coffee and Einstein's pipe.

After the students sat down, they asked this question: "Mr. Einstein, please tell me, what do you think is the most important scientific problem in the world?" I don't need an answer to this question. I just want to know, as the smartest scientist in the world, what do you think is the most important scientific problem in this world? "

Einstein said that this is a good question.

The young man is very happy.

Einstein leaned back, stopped talking and began to smoke and fight.

His pipe is flickering. After about ten minutes, Einstein opened his eyes and said, young man, I know. If there is any most important scientific question in this world, it is whether this world is evil or good.

The young man felt very strange and said, professor, isn't this a religious problem?

Einstein said, no, if a scientist believes that the world is evil, he will spend his whole life inventing weapons, making walls and inventing things that separate people. But if he believes that the world is kind, he will spend his whole life creating contact and communication, inventing things that bring people closer and closer, and things that are more and more unified. So I think whether the world is good or evil is the most important scientific issue.

The young man got the answer he wanted, which will eventually affect his life. He became one of the first people to study computer science and Internet.

A good question leads to a good answer.

Sometimes a good question is even more important than the answer.

Einstein once said, "If I have to spend an hour thinking about a question, I will spend 55 minutes thinking about what I want to ask and 5 minutes looking for an answer."
