The Interview

" So tell me what you learn about Einstein's theory? You took that module right?(refering to great ideas in contemporary physics)"


" well, i learnt about relativity. General and specific relativity. I also learnt about some other theories he came up with..."


" Ic, so tell me what is all about."

(Freeze for a second)

"well, (activating smoke grenade one) it depends on which one you are taking about. There is the general one and special ( or is it specific) relativity. It depends on the frame you are in. If you are travelling faster and faster , time is supposed to slow down."

"Oh you mean the clock tick slower?"


" well, (activating smoke grenade 2 to 99), theoretically yes. As you approach the speed of light, time is supposed to slow down. Take the black hole for example, as you approach it, you travel faster until the entrance, where you are moving at speed of light, then when you enter, time is supposedly to go in reversal....."


" ok. I thought quantum theory is more important? Don't they teach you? it is very practical."

"o ya, they did touched on that too. Einstein won the nobel prize not for his theory on relativity but photoelectric effect....blah blah"


After the interview, i stepped out of the room and wiped the perspiration off my eyebrows. They really grilled me. From relativity to life purpose, to so many why-not qn. Don't feel i did exceptionally well but i hope i managed to convince them. It is really up to God.
