Einstein and Eddington Page #2

We could offer you

a great deal of money.

You didn't answer my question.

...a professorship

and membership of

the Prussian Academy of Sciences

if you join us in Berlin.

Come back to Germany, Albert.

Who's us?

The university.

So, you're offering me money,

status...

Yes.

- Prestige.

- Yes.

The answer is no.

I have a family, Max,

I can't just uproot them.

No, you can't, I agree with you.

To be a great scientist,

there are always sacrifices

that have to be made.

Finish your work on gravity, Albert.

I think you could be great.

Train ticket to Berlin.

In case you change your mind.

Everything in the universe

is ordered.

Everything is bound

together by one force.

Gravity.

Everything happens for a reason.

Isn't that wonderful?

Newton described how gravity acts

and explained why.

He was right, but he was worried.

Because...

...you can't touch gravity.

You can't see it.

And Newton struggled with this.

He worried and he doubted.

And then he found his answer.

What fills the unexplained?

God, Winnie.

God's will.

Newton described

everything perfectly.

But he left room for God too.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Don't forget to visit

your aunt and uncle.

- I'm going to work.

- I know, I know.

I'll send for you all

as soon as I can.

Look at me.

Hans.

Hans.

Hans! Hans!

Einstein, Albert.

Anything we've got.

This is nine years old.

It's all there is.

Max!

You're here!

Welcome to the greatest university

in Europe.

- Evening.

- Good evening.

Ah!

- Fritz Haber, you know, of course.

- Fritz Haber.

Einstein.

You look a little...

Well, less Jewish

than the last time I saw you.

I'm a Christian now

in a Christian country.

I have renounced my Jewish faith.

So what are you working on?

- I'm looking at gases.

- Which?

Ammonia.

What about it?

Its conversion into nitrate.

Explosives?

What use is science

if it has no practical application?

We should go.

We're late.

For what?

There's someone I want you to meet.

Mr Koppel.

Thank you.

Who is this "someone"?

He who makes it all possible.

The 12,000 marks a year?

Mm-hm.

And he wants to have

a good look at his investment.

Max, I thought it was

part of my contract

that I would have total freedom.

Just keep what you say

clear and simple.

You're late.

I was invited precisely at the time

I was supposed to arrive here,

therefore it was impossible

for me to be here when I left.

What?

The energy which an object has because

of its motion will increase its mass.

The increase in mass makes it harder

for the object to increase its speed.

Try as he might,

the brilliant scientist setting out

to meet the fat industrialist

was always going to be late.
