"THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS"
It all happened inside his head. No labs, no research assistants, no academic libraries and certainly no Googling (well, not the Web kind)
And it started when he was 16.
While he was busy making wisecracks at 19th century German academic authorities and falling hopelessly in love on a regular schedule, the teenage Einstein imagined what it would be like to ride a beam of light. To others it was a moot point, you couldn't. Authority without the backing of solid facts riled him up. He thought it through until he could tell the rest of us why it couldn't be done.
Taking all of this together , stirring well, but not shaken, we have slightly reassembled this story into a "LIGHT " ROMANCE about the one that got away
Her name, naturally, is Lightbeam, and she cannot be caught. All the forces of nature have come together to answer the immortal question of the 4 dimensional love triangle: Why can' t she be caught?
Of course, the story wouldn't be complete if all you got was the primordial thoughts on the subject inside the hormonal 16 year old's head. So a modernized-for-your-convenience Einstein in the prime of his life is there to guide you through it. His job in the patent office was no longer available, so like any struggling artist oozing irreverence in modern America, he supports himself with the occasional stand-up comedy gig. The jokes are all his, our writers merely adapted them!
But wait, there's more!
We know it's not truly Einstein to you unless he's old with a cute accent. So, just to give it that wild-haired-professor ambiance, he will show his most familiar face from time to time...
