Journal One

In the book Einstein's Dreams written by Alan Lightman, the thoughts of a genius is revealed. The book is a collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905 as he is creating theory of time. It is a fictional story.The first few entries it explains a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. It explores different dimensions and possibilities of how things can turn out. How time has the ability to constantly repeat itself and give you a chance to constantly relive a moment in time. It goes into the depts of how a person who is from the future can come to the past and live as if they are not there because of fear of changing what may happen in the future. The tiniest little adjustment to something in the past can change something forever which causes some people to live in fear. This book not only describes the depts and complexity of time, it also shows the same characteristics in different kind of human beings and human reactions. Every claim was backed up with a real life situation between people who were dealing with something in reality, time was just included. From the seven journal entries that I read in the book it is obvious that Einstein's Dreams is a good read. It makes you think about the possibilities of life.
