1905 was an important year in history. Einstein, who worked in the Swiss patent office, was about to create earth shaking theories, but he fell into one dream after another... In the dream, time was a circle and cycle; Or, time stands still; Sometimes, time is a nightingale that people want to catch but cant catch; But when the bird was caught, it died immediately
Thirty independent dreams left countless question marks about life.
If the way time flows is different, will we still live the same life as now?
If life begins with aging and ends with childishness, how do you define youth and old age?
If life is only twenty-four hours long and you have to go to zero after seeing a sunrise, why are you busy now?
If all dreams will predict success or failure, will we still dream?
If the lover you meet for the first time at the moment no longer exists at the next moment, will love be just a futile struggle?
If the world is going to end in a minute, where and with whom?

A modern classic, Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, about time, relativity and physics. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular, so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar.

Now translated into thirty languages, Einstein’s Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence.
