Dreams in History: Albert Einstein

The famous E = MC (squared), is, yes, another product of a dream. It is the equation for the Theory of Relativity. This theory, among other things, suggests that time travel is possible when energy and mass are equivalent and transmutable. Einstein said that his theory was inspired by a dream where he was hurtling down a mountainside. He kept going faster and faster until he looked in the sky and the stars' appearances were altered as he approached the speed of light.
