Fiction
She is a student with some questions about physics. And he
is Albert Einstein, the man who redefined the true nature of
reality in the twentieth century. More than sixty years
after his death, she finds him in an office building in an
indeterminate central European city, ready and eager to give
a private lesson. And so begins an unusual, wide-ranging
conversation. They discuss relativity, light, and
space-time. But Einstein also talks about the difficulty of
fame and power and how his dreams of worldwide peace were
shattered. He points to a stack of photographs, books about
him, newspapers. “ ‘It still goes on,’ she says. ‘I thought
about putting on an Einstein T-shirt but in the end, I
didn’t dare . . . ’ ‘You must be joking,’ he says, ‘I’ve
even worn one myself.’”
