Well then, as Einstein used to say:
The distinction between the past, the present and the future
is just a stubborn and persistent delusion.
Alright guys, that's all for today, class dismissed.
I'm so sorry that your thesis is not ready yet, Pedro.
How dreadful... But don't worry!
I promise to invite you to my presentation when my thesis gets approved instead of yours.
Bye bye.
Screw you... Bye bye.
Screw you...
Pedro.
Yes, Professor?
Is it just me or you didn't pay attention at all today. Is there something happening?
It's nothing, Professor.
Take a sit, please.
I'd like to talk about your thesis, I've heard rumors that you were going nuts because of it.
Be careful now, this thesis is not nearly as important as your sanity.
I know Professor, I know. It's just...
I only have 1 week left to give my thesis to the committee, and I have no idea of what to do.
And I can't do everything in just 1 week. My future depends on it, and...
I don't know what to do, Professor. Godda-
Pedro!
Sorry, Professor. It's just that...
If there were just a way for me to talk to Einstein in person...
So I could understand his ideas, and make my thesis.
If only I could travel through time, so I could just talk to him...
Never mind! I think I went too far... I gotta go, Professor.
If I were you, Pedro, I wouldn't think that this is actually impossible...
Einstein said that the imagination is more important than the Science.
Since the Science is very limited if compared to the endless possibilities of the imagination.
But Professor, he said himself that when compared to reality
the Science is primitive and innocent.
But I'll be going now, I have to finish up my thesis.
Please Pedro, come back here.
How far would you go to get you thesis done and approved?
To the end of the world.
Look Pedro, some researchers accidentally found out that
if you can canalize a huge amount of energy, it's possible to bend the space-time.
Creating a bridge between the past and the present.
What do you mean? Are you talking about time travel?
That's impossible!
It's not impossible, but never mind about that now. Go home and we'll talk later.
Wait! If that is really true, why haven't no one talked about this before?
The Tempus Viator is as accidental experiment, that almost didn't happen at all.
And lucky me, I have one that you can barrow to finish up your thesis.
But you gotta promise me to keep your mouth shut.
And be careful, and attempt to change the past can dramatically damage the future.
Time is like a river, if you transpose it, there will be a lot of consequences.
Therefore, you be careful with this.
Alright Professor, I'll be really careful with the Tempus Viator.
Thanks.
Mom, I'm home!
Luciana called, she asked you to call her back, because she had very something very important to talk with you.
Right.
What's with this tone?
It's nothing... I'm watching you.
It doesn't work.
Wow, it works after all.
Excuse me. Einstein?
Yes?
Are you the Albert Einstein?
I am.
Nice to meet you, I'm Pedro Jorge.
I'm a student of Physics.
What kind of clothes are you wearing?
I travel a lot...
I came here just to talk with you, Sir, about your ideas.
My noble friends, students of Physics are always welcome in my home.
Come on in.
Please, come in.
Excuse me.
I'm a Physics undergraduate, and my thesis is about you, Sir.
That's why I want to talk with you about your ideas.
Interesting...
Who is this one, Albert?
Please, meet my sister Maria Einstein, and my mother Pauline.
Charmed.
Mom, this is Pedro Jorge, and as he said before, he is making a thesis about me.
Wow, what a honor.
This is my brother, Jakob. Please Pedro, have a sit.
No need for that, thanks.
So, are you going to make a thesis about my nephew?
Oh boy, I'm proud!
He was always a studious boy, and always liked Sciences.
Yes, and it was because of my late husband, wasn't it?
Hermann gave him a compass, when he was a boy, and then...
He was a catastrophe on languages, but on math he was exceptional. How ironic, isn't it?
I don't wanna bother you, Mr. Einstein, but I don't have much time and I got a lot of questions.
Yes, of course. Please excuse us, but we need to go to a private place.
Have a sit.
So Pedro, what do you want to know?
I have so many questions. Tell me how it all began in your life.
Everything in my life came really fast. I just got my PhD and I'm only 26.
Wow!
But why are you so interested about the reason of everything?
Well, Pedro...
Wow Mr. Einstein, you a truly a genius!
I know, but thank you.
Well, I have to go home now, thanks for everything.
Already? Where do you live?
Well, it's complicated, I'm do not live in this century. I live in the 21st century.
My noble friend, you don't fool me.
I'm not kidding. I came here using the Tempus Viator, a time machine, just to study you life.
Oh my God, what is going on here?
I don't have time to explain it, but I can show it to you. Come with me to the Present.
Wow, it really works.
I've told you so. I was very surprised as well when I traveled for the for time.
Make yourself at home, ok? I'm going to finish up my thesis now.
Pedro, what is this?
That? It's a mobile phone.
What just happened?
Probably just a message.
You have a nice room.
Image.
Image.
And the Government informed that Control Chip implementation will begin tomorrow, at 6 AM, in the Public Health Posts.
Any kind of resistance will be acknowledge as a offense to the government, and all insurgent will be arrested.
After winning the WWII, the Japan became a World Superpower.
It's way of ruling is monarchical, almost like a dictatorship.
Tomorrow morning, at 6 AM, Control Chips will be implanted on the people. Now the question is to where are we going, and who is gonna try to fight against it.
Good Afternoon, upnext is the novel My lovely Passion.
My God, what have I done?
What's wrong, Mr. Pedro?
Mr. Einstein, you don't exist anymore!
What do you mean?!
Look Sir, by bringing you to the present I completely altered the order of time.
It's like that your theories and discoveries were never studied, because they are no more.
No, Mr. Einstein, I'm not! You saw it on the news!
The Japan won the WWII because the U.S didn't have the atomic bomb!
In other world, your Theory of Relativity never existed.
Theory of Relativity? What's that?
It's very complicated Mr. Einstein. But the main issue is that you do no exist anymore!
No... How did thi- I have to go back to the past. Where is the Tempus Viator?
There is no Tempus Viator, because it existed only because of you theory.
Without your theory, there is no Tempus Viator.
Come, we gotta look for my Professor.
Professor? What Professor?
He must know what to do, he created the Tempus Viator, he should know how to fix everything. Let's go.
Pedro!
Come down here, I gotta talk to you.
Just a second, Luciana.
Pedro, where were you? I've been looking for you for hours. And why didn't you answered my message?
I don't have time to explain, Luciana. Now come with me because I need your help.
Wait a second, where are we going?
To the University.
And who is this?
It's Einstein, a famous scientist that I erased form history.
You better explain everything to me.
Yeah, sure, let's go.
Damn Luciana, we lingered to long in your house just for you to change a shirt.
I had to change it, it was all dirty.
Professor.
Pedro? I'm coming.
What's wrong?
We need to talk.
Come.
Let's go.
What happened? Who is this guy? Is he who I think he is?
I guess so, Professor, but we need to talk ASAP.
Let me put these things in order.
Just let me put these books away. Pedro, tell me what happened.
Professor, you don't know what I just did by accident.
I think I do. I don't believe it Pedro I've told not to change anything!
But it was a accident, he came here and I didn't know that it would cause all this trouble.
Calm down, people, we gotta think of a solution, we still got Einstein. His studies may have been lost in time, but we still have his wisdom.
Not completely. I don't know for sure how the Tempus Viator was designed.
In this case, I need a lab to recreate it almost from scratch.
But we don't have a lab, we just gor the Professor's house.
We also have the rest of the other Tempus Viator.
I'm gonna need your help.
Alright, let's build another Tempus Viator, now.
Pedro, watch this.
Good Morning. We are here today in the waiting room of one of the labs that are doing the Control Chip implants.
Let's interview one of the volunteers to see how she is doing.
Good Morning, what is your name?
Ana.
How are feeling about this Chip Program?
A bit apprehensive, but I'm confident as well.
Mom?! Oh God...
I'm sorry.
Einstein, turn it on!
Done, it's wired and powered up.
I suppose it is, in fact.
Activate it already! Or my mother will...
Well then, as Einstein used to say:
The distinction between the past, the present and the future
is just a stubborn and persistent delusion.
Alright guys, that's all for today, class dismissed.
I'm so sorry that your thesis is not ready yet, Pedro.
How dreadful... But don't worry!
I promise to invite you to my presentation when my thesis gets approved instead of yours.
Bye bye.
We thank you all for you presence to prestige my student Pedro Jorge
Who is going to present his thesis about Albert Einstein to us. Please Pedro, come up.
Good Afternoon.
In these last few weeks, I could note of how much would change if Albert Einstein were never born.
I came to the conclusion that our history would change dramatically
if Einstein had never been born to discovered, to the astonishment of all mankind,
that matter and energy are only the two side of the same coin.
And that matter can became energy, and vice-versa.
The Theory of Relativity, published by the German Physicist in 1905,
renew the laws of physics, that relied on the principles proposed by Isaac Newton.
It was the Einstein's Relativity that originated the Atomic Bomb.
This new weapon put an end to the WWII.
And in subsequent decades, imposed the entire planet to the logic of the Cold War.
Without the bombs, that devastated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945,
maybe the Japan would have fell into the Soviet Dominion, instead of the American.
And it is possible that none of the technological breakthroughs
that the Japanese Capitalism gave us along the years would have never existed.
Imagine the World today without Sony, Honda or Nintendo.
It's also quite possible that mankind would not have put footprints on the Moon.
But that's not all. With the communist influence on Asia, would the Vietnam war had ever been fought?
Would the European countries, like French and England, resist against the Marxism?
The Berlim Wall would have been absolutely unnecessary, since the entire Europe would hold the Red Flag.
If Albert Einstein hadn't come to this World, you can be sure that your life would be totally different.
Hardly you would be able to have microwave ovens, play video games, and be examined with a tomography.
To look at and imagine in a LCD display would be impossible.
All of that was only possible because of the theories of this German Physicist.
Lastly, here I quote this grand genius:
Imagination is more important than knowledge. The knowledge helps on the outside, but only love helps on the inside. Knowledge comes on times, but wisdom always comes a little late. Thank you.
