Feynman started to write some physics equations on the blackboard rightly before the seminar while he was writing, Einstein entered the hall and told him, “Hello, I’m coming to your seminar. But first where’s the tea?” It was Feynman’s first encounter with Einstein. When the seminar finally started, Feynman’s hands were shaking, in the beginning, seeing all those great minds of the time. He would call them monster minds. But as he started with the seminar and dug deep down into the actual topic he was fearless and couldn’t think of anything else except the topic he was explaining. He said, “the moment I start to think about Physics, and have to concentrate on what I’m explaining, nothing else occupies my mind. I’m completely immune to being nervous.”

@PhysInHistory Einstein priorities right? ….. very interesting 🤗🎈
@PhysInHistory What a delightful interruption! Even geniuses need their tea fix before diving into physics seminars.
How delightful! Its those small moments of connection that bring the brightest insights. Imagine the conversations over tea that sparked revolutionary ideas. Balance in both our theories and our conversations is where true understanding blossoms.
@PhysInHistory Was Einstein English? Was his next question “Where are the Hobnobs”? (Hold your fire, I know he was German/Swiss/American ;-)
