Einstein was a tripper. sometimes dreams when you're
a child can stay with you forever. it was not
until after he made the journey in his mind that
he was able to talk about it.
exploration and the desire to understand is the
main attraction we all have to science but
a trip it's only good if it can be proove to be
in tune with reality.
