The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the decoration of the tavern. Although it was exquisite and well-maintained, it could still be seen that it had gone through the baptism of time.

There are some scratches on the floor, and many tables and chairs are obviously patinated and have a very beautiful sheen.

He didn't understand antiques, but if a knowledgeable person came to look at these wooden tables and chairs, they would be worth a lot of money.

"Your store looks like it's been open for a long time," the middle-aged man said, "but why does it seem so empty?"

"It was closed for a while not long ago. It's only opened now and there's no publicity." Xia Ya said.

The middle-aged man nodded. He actually noticed that no one came into this store. He wanted to find a quiet place to sit.

He looked around and wanted to sit down in a deserted and quiet corner, but Xia Ya spoke.

"You can sit over here."

The middle-aged man slowly raised his head and looked at the bar, while Xia Ya pointed to the position in front of the bar.

"The rest of the area has been painted with a layer of tung oil, but it hasn't dried yet."

The middle-aged man looked around and found that there was indeed some unnatural luster on these tables and chairs.

He nodded, walked to the bar and sat down. At the same time, he took out a piece of paper and fumbled for something on his body.

"Are you looking for a pen?"

The middle-aged man slowly raised his head and saw the owner of the tavern handing him a pen.

"Thank you."

He took the pen, and then he was immersed in writing formulas on the piece of paper, and at the same time he was doing many calculations in his mind. He did not communicate with Char, nor did he order, as if he was immersed in his own world.

And Xia Ya didn't bother him, she just silently mixed the wine and deliberately lowered her voice to the lowest level while mixing it.

After an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man exhaled slowly and put the pen back into its holder. The piece of paper was filled with dense formulas, even on the back.

He raised his head and saw the boss behind the bar pushing a drink over to him.

"Try it, the latest new product, free trial. After mental exercise, it will be better to add some sugar."

The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall behind the boss. Half an hour had passed since he came in.

Only then did he remember that he didn't order. This was a tavern. Instead of buying a drink, he sat there for half an hour, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

He said apologetically, "Sorry, I was too immersed in my own world just now."

"It's okay, there's not a lot of people around now anyway, you can sit here until the store closes." Xia Ya said with a smile.

After a pause, Xia Ya looked at the list and asked curiously, "Are you a scientist?"

"Theoretical physicist." The middle-aged man said.

Xia Ya nodded, "My name is Xia Ya, can I ask your name?"

"Albert Einstein," Einstein said.

"Einstein." Xia Ya frowned and thought for a moment, "I seem to have seen this name somewhere."

After a pause, his eyes lit up, "You are the author of the special theory of relativity, right?"

During this period, Einstein had already published the special theory of relativity, and even the general theory of relativity was basically completed this year. If nothing else happens, next year should be the time when he releases the general theory of relativity.

Einstein looked at Char in surprise.

"I also have a scientist friend." Xia Ya said with a smile, "So I also read some scientific journals. After all, technology is the primary productive force."

"Go forward a few decades, and who would have thought that ships could still land on land."

“Not everyone is a Tesla.”

Einstein laughed.

"I study theoretical physics. It may take a long, long time before I can truly change the world."

"Tall buildings never appear in an instant, right?" Xia Ya said.

"You are very wise." Einstein nodded.

"I actually don't quite understand your theory of relativity." Xia Ya asked curiously, "How can the time be different?"

"Indeed, many people now cannot understand it." Einstein nodded, "Because most people's thinking has bound themselves to a very narrow area with their inherent cognition.

If you want to understand the theory of relativity, you need to change a concept. "

Einstein looked at him and said, "Time does not actually exist. It's just that people can't explain the decay of things and the aging of people, so they give it the name of time."

“I have always believed that time, matter, and space cannot be explained separately by abstract concepts.

Everything in this world, everything we see, including ourselves, is composed of countless particles.

The movement of these particles causes the decay of objects and the aging of people. All phenomena defined by humans as "time" are caused by the movement of particles.

And since it is "motion", it naturally has speed and slowness. When the particles on your body move fast, all the particles around you will slow down relative to you.

So from your perspective, time around you will slow down.

Of course, if you want to distinguish the difference with the naked eye, you may need to use the speed of light as the unit. "

Xia Ya nodded in understanding, "It sounds very complicated."

Einstein smiled and said, "This is like a high-speed steam train. When you stand at the front of the train and sit on the hot coals, you will feel that your days are like years; but when you are in bed with a beautiful woman, you You will feel that time flies.”

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows, "Suddenly I understood."

"And the more beautiful the woman is and the better her figure is, the faster this time will be."

"Hahahahaha!!!" Einstein laughed heartily, "You have understood the essence of the theory of relativity."

At this time, Alicia walked out of the corridor leading to the castle, but she changed into more smart clothes. The style of the clothes was simple and soft, without lace or other cumbersome details. She was wearing an apron from the store.

Her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail, making her look youthful and energetic.

Even Einstein, who has always been in love with flowers, could not help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw Alicia.

"She is my wife, Alicia." Xiaya said.

Einstein nodded and joked, "It seems like time flies by for you."

Xia Ya nodded noncommittally, "More than a hundred years have passed before I knew it."

Einstein smiled. He thought the tavern owner was very interesting, funny and very humble in his speech.

Even for knowledge that goes against common sense, I don’t rush to deny it, but try to accept it.

This is a quality that many people do not have. On the day his special theory of relativity was released, many colleagues criticized him as a liar.

Until now, there are still a group of people who do not believe in the existence of the theory of relativity.
