A modern classic, Einstein’s Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, when he worked in a patent office in Switzerland. 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.

提出了关于时间的很多有意思的看法,让你在时间的洪流中更加茫然和不知所措。

《变化的位面》完了就是“变化的时间面”吗(笑。字字如珠如玉,清澈寂寥的美,是只属于物理系的浪漫。美中不足的是读多了有点乏味,有堆砌之感,再短小精悍一点就满分了。之前翻了译本,美的毫不逊色,一并推荐。

天马行空的时间形式,回转闪烁位移停滞,是幻想也是洒脱
