I Was An Extremely Reclusive And Introverted

In Parallel With The Development Of My Interests In Technical Gadgetry I Began To Acquire A Profound Love Of And Respect For The Natural World Which Motivates My Scientific Thinking To This Day.

It Is Ironic That Einsteins Most Creative Work, The General Theory Of Relativity, Should Boil Down To Conceptualizing Space As A Medium When His Original Premise [in Special Relativity] Was That No Such Medium Existed[..].

I Also Taught Myself How To Blow Glass Using A Propane Torch From The Hardware Store And Managed To Make Some Elementary Chemistry Plumbing Such As Tees And Small Glass Bulbs.

It Was At Bell Labs That I First Made Direct Contact With Real Semiconductor Experts And Thus Began To Fully Understand What Amazing Materials They Were And What They Could Do.

The Questions Worth Asking, In Other Words, Come Not From Other People But From Nature, And Are For The Most Part Delicate Things Easily Drowned Out By The Noise Of Everyday Life.
