Comparison Of Time In Einstein's Dreams

Einstein's Dreams is full of comparisons of time and different aspects within it. One of my favorite comparisons in the novel is the comparison of mechanical time verse body time.

The screen would fade out as the narrator finished reading the final lines of the first paragraph and a new scene would come to focus zooming in on a single female.

This woman eventually goes home where you'll see no clocks anywhere and she sit peacefully in her living room and the music falls silent and you can hear a soft heart beat and a rumble of her stomach. She stretches and then gets up to eat. Eventually she falls asleep and her day starts again but at no set tie just when ever she feels like getting out of bed. The scene will cut through multiple moments of when she wakes up and rolls back over to go to sleep. …show more content…
