Someone whose brain could surprise even himself. Albert Einstein didn't mean to turn the universe upside-down on everyone. He didn't plan on leading others to discover black holes. At first, all he set out to do was think about motion, along with a few other related ideas. But almost before he knew it, he had suddenly made our dependable old universe seem strange and new.

Explanation:

A summary can be defined as a short overview of a paragraph, an excerpt, an essay, a book etc. It is supposed to filter important information through, while leaving out any supplemental details that don't affect readers' knowledge of the main facts.

The passage we are analyzing here has several of those supplemental details that do not need to be included in a summary. Calling Einstein a "smarty-pants", for instance, is certainly not crucial to understand the main idea conveyed. The one detail that deserves to be included in a summary is "a new way of thinking about gravity." This detail reveals how Einstein's thinking led him to make astonishing discoveries and concoct a paramount theory. If it wasn't for that new way of thinking, physics would not be what it is today.
