Text, Questions & Answers

It was a typical school day until physics whiz, Sophie, stumbled upon a peculiar device in the science lab: a time machine. Inadvertently activating it, she found herself transported back to 1931, right into Albert Einstein's study. Awestruck by the sight of the towering intellect, Sophie's nervousness quickly vanished as Einstein, known for his kind demeanor, welcomed her. Over a simple meal, they discussed the theory of relativity, atomic energy, and the ethical implications of scientific discoveries. Einstein shared his concerns about the misuse of atomic energy, highlighting the responsibility scientists carry. This struck a chord with Sophie. She wondered, "Do we really want the power to alter timelines if we can't handle the power we already have?" Sophie returned to her time, leaving her with more questions than answers.
