#2Great story. Great writing.
I felt like I was in the room observing this encounter take place.
This was very nice to read, or rather, to experience :)
The joy of wonder!
Thanks for the post

#3Cool story, but what Einstein does here--escorting a stranger out of a concert for a private music listening training session--is downright strange and socially odd, by most standards. Did he feel he had a license to do this because he was one of the most famous people in the world? Or was he so wrapped up in his own brilliance that he didn't even notice what was a bit socially deviant?

You think he seems arrogant here? Maybe he didn't care that he was being a bit socially deviant! :-)
My impression is he was just too excited about "opening up yet another fragment of the frontier of beauty" to worry about adhering to the social standard!
Anyway, thanks dfield for posting, this was a fun read!

I think he saw an opportunity to teach which stimulated his understanding of beauty.
I think he wanted to open up the man's mind to continued exploration, and in this case, discovery as well.

Interesting that you call trying to teach someone about music soically odd, but by not commenting imply that it is totally normal to sit in a concert ignoring the music. Perhaps social norms are not all they are cracked up to be, and a little "out of the box" thinking can be good. Or even thinking out of space and time :-)

#7I am touched by this story. Any chance of it being true? (not that it matters, truth being beauty an' all).

What is the benefit of not being "a bit socially deviant"?

#10I want to highlight a point "start from the basics".
Most of our teachers (in tunisia) ruined studies by starting and giving students hard exercices to do, which makes them fear and afraid from science.
