Einstein.
:48:13
Theory of relativity.
:48:18
Do you understand it?
:48:21
Nobody does.
Nobody did. Especially then...

:48:23
...beginning of the century.
It was scary.

:48:26
All people could think was, no more
straight lines or right angles.

:48:31
No more absolute time.
Motion was curved.

:48:34
What does that mean?
:48:35
- I don't know.
- Right.

:48:38

patterns determining our destiny.

:49:35
And here's the killer:
:49:42
We have no control over them.
It doesn't matter what we do...

:49:46
...it makes no difference
to the path of history.

:49:49
Want a beach house this summer?
:49:51
- Can we afford it?
- No.

:49:53
But after the wedding,
if we don't take a honeymoon.

:49:57
No honeymoon?
