99 Years Later... We Solved It

Stories like this are what inspired my love for physics as a kid. I wanted to grow up and become a scientist. Then at college I had a teacher who did not like me, said I needed to be put in my place as I asked too many questions and was a know it all. I would get 100% in my tests and exams, but he would fail me as I had used information beyond what he had taught me. Sadly he was the only physics lecturer, so after 2 disheartening years, I quit college.
Eventually I would go back to study something different, but that one teacher destroyed my confidence and truth be told I have never really recovered.
