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. β βIt still goes on,β she says. βI thought about putting on an Einstein T-shirt but in the end, I didnβt dare . . . β βYou must be joking,β he says, βIβve even worn one myself.ββ
