192 1 what was Einstein's reaction when he was interviewed in the United States in April?

192 1 In April, Einstein arrived in the United States. As soon as Einstein got off the boat, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters on the deck and could not get ashore at all. Einstein tried his best to avoid reporters' questions, and Ai Lisha, a colleague, tried his best, but American journalists were obviously prepared. If Einstein's answer didn't satisfy them, they wouldn't let him go.

"Dear doctor, please briefly summarize the essence of relativity in a few words?"

It seems that journalists are really good at solving problems. Scientists can't explain a new scientific theory in a few words, while journalists probably only need a few words of news and too many theories, which they can't understand.

Einstein met such an interview for the first time. After a little reflection, he humorously told reporters: "If you really want me to explain the theory of relativity in a few words, then I can only give you an example boldly, but everyone just regards it as a joke. It is by no means an orthodox theory. "

"Please tell me quickly." The reporters urged Einstein to tell the answer quickly.

"Now let me give you an analogy. If people used to think that time and space still existed after all objects disappeared from the universe, then according to the theory of relativity, time and space would disappear with objects. "

"Thank you for your refined answer. Our newspaper will make headlines tomorrow. "

"Doctor, it is said that only 12 people in the world understand the theory of relativity. Is this true? " The reporters continued to ask.

"Do you believe this?" Einstein asked, and then went on to say:

"As far as I know, any physicist can understand the theory of relativity. Even my students can understand it, and physicists in many countries have studied and verified it. How can it be so ridiculous? "

"Doctor, have you ever thought that your theory of relativity would cause such a sensational effect?"

"Well, it never occurred to me that in your country, I think what people are most keen on should be boxing. I really don't understand. Why are you wasting your time here? "

Einstein's words made reporters laugh, and the serious atmosphere suddenly enlivened a lot.

After interviewing Einstein, the reporters didn't forget Ai Lisha.

"Madam, do you study physics?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary housewife."

"So, do you know the theory of relativity?"

"Oh, well, I know nothing about it. Although the doctor explained it to me countless times, my math level only reached the level of bookkeeping. How can I understand those profound things? "

"But although I know nothing about the theory of relativity, it doesn't affect our happy life."

Ai Lisha's clever mouth won applause.

Later, the people who came to greet them put the Einstein couple in a convertible and prepared to rush to their hotel.

Along the way, both sides of the street have been filled with people who come to watch the excitement, scrambling to the side of the road to see Einstein's style.

Although Einstein got on the bus, he never understood what was going on. Facing the boiling crowd, he simply didn't know where to put his hand. One minute they play the violin, the other they knock on the pipe. This welcome really surprised them.

Ai Lisha sat next to him and waved to the crowd from time to time. When she found Einstein at a loss, she was really angry and funny, so she reminded him, "Albert, please be natural." All you have to do is smile and wave to the crowd to express your gratitude. "

At this time, the mind of the great scientist just turned around. From the moment he got on the bus, he kept thinking: Is there anything particular about the hospitality of Americans? Why use a convertible? At the moment, he finally understood. Einstein in the car showed a sincere smile like a child.

Einstein fever swept the whole new world again, and it became hotter and hotter.
