Einstein
The Man Who Asked Why
by James Johnson
Dedication
For the ones who still ask “Why?”
Even when the world says “Because that’s just how it is.”
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TO THE THINKERS, the readers, and the rebels.
To everyone who ever stared up at the stars and felt the tug of a question they couldn’t quite shake.
To the teachers who told us to sit down, and the ones who told us to stand up.
And of course, to Albert.
For refusing to stay in the box he was born into.
For chasing light.
And for proving that imagination isn’t the opposite of science.
It’s the engine.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ IS A writer, observer, and professional dot-connector.
He believes that stories are how humans encode truth, and that behind every “science fact” is a deeper human tale waiting to be told.
This is not his first biography.
But it might be the one that bends you.
