What Made the Top Modern-day Physicists Become Physicists?

Looking into the backgrounds of the top physicists of today allows us to find out what made them great physicists, and what drew them to science early on. This information was researched in order to better understand the type of guidance and education that should be instilled into the children of our day who have tendencies towards science. The decided top physicists were contacted through e-mail, which apart from for one exception was the sole way the men were contacted; the exception was through a phone interview. The remainder of the research was collected from the autobiographies of the men and from other online sources. The research concluded that it was because of family influences, the type and approach to education and experimentation, and to personal qualities such as imagination, optimism, and persistence were the major similarities between the physicists. By this information that sort of environment would be beneficial to a child who liked science.
