It happens every where

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

    Ok, so that is a down to basics child explanation of the working of the telephone and telegraph.
    Not much to get there.

    “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”

    okay, great quotes. thank you for sharing.

    but you are, I believe, wrong about what this one means:

    einstein: “Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.”

    you write: you are strong when your attitude is strong

    ***

    okay, what I believe einstein is saying is once our attitude gets “weak” as in lax, non caring , unprincipled, then our character is weak. NOT that we are stronger when our attitude is strong. and what does that mean exactly anyway? ;)
