Why did Einstein stick out his tongue in this famous photo?
It was Einstein’s birthday and he was being hounded by photographers. He stuck his tongue out in exasperation trying to ruin the photo. Of course, his plan backfired. Since the scientist had such a reputation for being quirky, the photo was just seen as another example of his irascible charm, and it’s become one of the most famous pictures of Einstein ever taken.
Time to get ready for the memorial... I'm still in shock that she's gone. Although I take comfort in knowing she was a truly good person who held on strong to her beliefs. She will be missed... Tonight I will not morn the loss of a friend but instead I will celebrate her beautiful life. <3 you Lyudmila Shelest. Till we meet again.
