愛(ài)好通常被認(rèn)為是那些過(guò)著安靜、輕松生活的人們的活動(dòng)。然而，生活充實(shí)、忙碌，甚至壓力大的人更需要愛(ài)好。一起來(lái)看看加拿大圓周理論物理研究所發(fā)布的文章吧，我們會(huì)明白即使是最聰明的頭腦也需要放松。

Einstein， Curie， Feynman， Bohr—their names are 1）synonymous with scientific breakthroughs that forever changed our understanding of the universe and ourselves. But even the most brilliant minds need to 2）unwind. Here's how 10 of history's greatest physicists recharged their intellectual batteries.

Nikola Tesla fed pigeons every day in a park near his lab. Noticing one pigeon with a broken leg and wing， he spent $2，000 building a device that supported the bird's body while its bones healed.

Marie Curie， two-time Nobel Prize-winner， was an 3）avid long-distance cyclist. She and husband Pierre spent their 1895 honeymoon pedaling around the north of France.

Max Born， quantum pioneer， was a lover of music， but he died just before the pop music stardom of his granddaughter： Olivia Newton-John.

Albert Einstein taught himself to play the violin. He sometimes played 4）duets with Max Planck， the “Father of Quantum Theory” and an accomplished pianist.

Theoretical physicist Richard Feynman was， among other quirky things， a semi-secret artist under the 5）pseudonym “Ofey.” His works drew critical acclaim and were shown at exhibition.

Werner Heisenberg， whose “uncertainty principle” became a hallmark of quantum mechanics， was an avid skier and mountaineer.

Erwin Schrodinger， who famously devised a thought experiment involving an alive/dead cat， made tiny dollhouse furniture with textiles woven on a miniature loom.

Enrico Fermi， whose work on 6）radioactivity earned a Nobel Prize， played tennis with what one friend called “considerable ferocity”.

James Clerk Maxwell， who unified electricity and 7）magnetism， was an accomplished poet. His poems， such as A Problem in Dynamics， were often playfully mind-boggling.

Before his Novel-winning work in quantum theory， Niels Bohr was a goalkeeper for the Danish football team AkademiskBoldklub. His mathematician brother Harald was the real sporty one， though—he played for the Danish national football team at the 1908 Olympics.

愛(ài)因斯坦、居里夫人、費(fèi)曼、玻爾——他們的名字是科學(xué)突破的代名詞，他們的科學(xué)成果永遠(yuǎn)地改變了我們對(duì)宇宙和我們自己的理解。但即使是最聰明的頭腦也需要放松。一起來(lái)看看 10 位歷史上最偉大的物理學(xué)家如何為他們的智力“充電”。

尼古拉·特斯拉每天在他實(shí)驗(yàn)室附近的公園里喂鴿子。他注意到其中一只鴿子的腿和翅膀都斷了，于是花了 2000 美元制作了一個(gè)裝置，該裝置能讓鴿子的骨頭愈合時(shí)支撐它的身體。

兩次獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的居里夫人是一位狂熱的長(zhǎng)途自行車手。她和她的丈夫皮埃爾在 1895 年度蜜月時(shí)曾在法國(guó)北部騎行。

馬克斯·玻恩是量子力學(xué)的奠基人，同時(shí)也是一位音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者。但當(dāng)他去世不久后，他的孫女奧莉維亞·紐頓 - 約翰成了一名流行音樂(lè)歌手。

愛(ài)因斯坦自學(xué)拉小提琴。他有時(shí)與“量子理論之父”且頗有成就的鋼琴家馬克斯·普朗克共同演奏二重奏。

理論物理學(xué)家理查德·費(fèi)曼是一位筆名為“阿飛”的半秘密藝術(shù)家。他的作品廣受好評(píng)，并在展覽中展出。

維爾納·海森堡的“不確定性原理”成為量子力學(xué)的標(biāo)志，他是一位狂熱的滑雪和登山愛(ài)好者。

設(shè)計(jì)了一個(gè)著名的涉及活 / 死貓的思想實(shí)驗(yàn)的歐文·薛定諤，他用微型織機(jī)上編織的紡織品制作了微型玩具屋家具。

恩里科·費(fèi)米因?yàn)樵诜派湫苑矫娴墓ぷ鞫@得了諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)，他打網(wǎng)球的方式被他的一位朋友認(rèn)為“很兇猛”。

將電和磁結(jié)合起來(lái)的詹姆斯·克拉克·麥克斯韋，也是一位多才多藝的詩(shī)人。他的詩(shī)歌 A Problem in Dynamics 令人贊嘆！

在他的量子理論獲獎(jiǎng)之前，尼爾斯·玻爾是丹麥足球隊(duì) AB 哥本哈根足球俱樂(lè)部的守門員。不過(guò)，他的數(shù)學(xué)家兄弟哈拉爾德是真正的運(yùn)動(dòng)健將——他在 1908 年以丹麥國(guó)家足球隊(duì)成員參加了奧運(yùn)會(huì)。
