Classic Flicks: Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Man

(Circa 1900. Classical music. A young Albert Einstein meets with his colleagues at a bistro.) Colleague: Albert! You're only alienating yourself from the physics crowd by trying to unite matter with energy! Give up this madness and take a teaching job before it is too late! Einstein: Sure, that would be easy. Man's way is easy. If a man wants to imagine time slowing down, he can drink absinthe. It's abundantly available. But God's way is not easy. God's way is hard. God's way is to travel all the way to the New Mexico desert for peyote buttons instead of just drinking absinthe. Colleague: So that's your problem. They say that the best way to treat absinthe addiction is with opium. I have a friend who runs a clinic. Of course, your wife does not need to know. Well? What are you gaping at now? Why do you look at everything as if you're seeing it for the first time! Einstein: If you were traveling at the speed of light, you would be moving so much faster than the sound of your voice that you could not speak. Your every attempt to say a word would result in its being shoved back down your throat again by the acceleration. Colleague: You're not making sense. Einstein: (animated) One, two, light-speed on you! Colleague: I'm worried about you.
