What I find most admirable about Albert Einstein is the way he thought up his theories and had the ability to conduct experiments on them. By doing this‚ he answered many questions of the scientific realm of the world. Some of the traits I admire are: 1. A trait I admire is his curiosity because he always wanted to find out how things worked. When he was five years old his father gave him a compass. It was a mystery to him. He wanted to know why the arrow always pointed north. His father
