But our broken system incentivizes behavior that only makes these problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig...

He thought in pictures instead of words, and his special way of thinking helped him understand big ideas like the structure of music and why a compass always points north. Those ideas made him want to keep figuring out the secrets of the universe. Other people thought he was just a dreamer, but because of his curiosity, Einstein grew up to be one of the greatest scientists the world...
