“Einstein and Besso sit in a small fishing boat at anchor in the river.
‘Do you usually catch anything here?’
‘Never,’ answers Einstein.
Besso hands Einstein a sandwich and beer.
‘I think you will succeed with your theory of time,’ says Besso. ‘And when you do we will go fishing and you will explain it to me. When you become famous, you’ll remember that you told me first, here in this boat’”

“As they stand beneath the street lamp, time stops and restarts… But somewhere in the deep pools of the woman’s mind, a dim thought has appeared that was not there before. The young woman reaches for this new thought, into her unconscious, and as she does so a gossamer vacancy crosses her smile.”

“Einstein leans over to Besso, who is also short, and says ‘I want to understand time because i want to get close to The Old One.’
But there are problems. For one, perhaps The Old One is not interested in getting close to his creations. Intelligent or not. For another, this time project could be too big for a twenty-six-year-old.
On the other hand… Besso is dazzled by Einstein’s ambition.”

“For the past several months, since the middle of April, he has dreamed many dreams about time. His dreams have taken hold of his research. His dreams have worn him out, exhausted him so that he sometimes cannot tell whether he is awake or asleep. But the dreaming is finished. Out of many possible natures of time, imagined in as many nights, one seems compelling.“
