She made her
major scientific discovery when she was five years old.
She announced
to her parents that wind is caused by the movement of trees.
Her parents
chuckled and told her that wind is caused by (they had to look it up in a
science book) the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun, which
creates differences in air pressure. Warm air rises, leading to low pressure,
while cooler air sinks, creating high pressure. The movement of air from high
to low pressure results in wind.
Adults always
made everything much harder than it needed to be.
