Chapter 18 Henry Dawson
October 31, 1952, Halloween night at 20:11.
The white-gloved driver opened the back door.
Einstein rubbed his tired temple and looked at his friend Henry Dawson next to him: "You know I don't like this kind of occasion... not to mention today is Halloween. "
Henry chuckled: "I know you don't like social occasions, but this time is very important. We must attend. "
Einstein sighed: "Okay, since you said so. But I hope this party won't be too long. "
The two walked into a magnificent villa. A grand Halloween party was being held here, and celebrities from all walks of life were invited.
Einstein looked around and saw gorgeous decorations and well-dressed guests everywhere. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Henry noticed Einstein's expression and whispered: "Relax Albert. We just need to deal with it and we can leave later. "
The two shuttled through the crowd and greeted celebrities from all walks of life. Einstein forced a smile to deal with one greeting after another.
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind: "Albert! ! I didn't expect to meet you here. "
Einstein turned around and saw his old friend Niels Bohr.
"Niels, long time no see." Einstein shook Bohr's hand and showed a sincere smile.
Bohr smiled and said: "I heard that you have been studying some new theories recently. How is the progress? ? "
Einstein paused and replied: "Not bad. But you know I always prefer to be alone and focus on my work. "
Bohr nodded: "Yes, you have always been like this. But I believe you will definitely make a breakthrough. "
The two chatted for a while and unknowingly more than an hour had passed.
Henry came over and whispered to Einstein: "Albert, we should go. "
Einstein nodded and said to Bohr: "It's nice to see you again, Niels. Let's talk another day. "
After saying goodbye, the two walked out of the villa.
Einstein breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over. I really can't stand this kind of occasion. "
Henry smiled and said: "I know you don't like socializing, but this time is still very important. After all, we need to keep in touch with other scientists. "
Einstein nodded: "I understand. But next time you want to pull me to such an occasion, it's better to tell me in advance. "
The two got in the car and drove away.
Back home, Einstein finally relaxed. He sat on the sofa and looked at the night sky outside the window.
Henry came over and handed him a cup of hot tea: "You look exhausted. "
Einstein took the teacup and whispered: "Yes, this kind of occasion really makes me feel tired. But being able to chat with you and Niels

Einstein took the teacup and said softly: "Yes, this kind of occasion really makes me feel tired. But it's still good to chat with you and Niels."
Henry sat next to Einstein and asked with concern: "What new theory are you studying recently? I heard from Bohr that you have made some new breakthroughs."
Einstein sighed: "Yes, I have been thinking about the nature of time and space. I believe that our understanding of the universe is far from enough."
He paused and continued: "I have been studying general relativity recently and trying to find a more unified theory to explain the laws of the universe. But this process is not easy and requires me to put in a lot of effort."
Henry nodded: "I understand. You have always been so focused on your work. But I believe that as long as you are there, there will be breakthroughs."
Einstein smiled slightly: "Thank you for your support, Henry. It's great to have a good friend like you."
The two chatted for a while, and it was late at night unknowingly.
Henry stood up and said, "Okay, I should go back. You should also go to bed early, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Einstein also stood up and sent Henry to the door: "Be careful on the road. We will talk another day."
After watching Henry leave, Einstein closed the door and returned to the living room alone. He picked up the notebook on the table and continued to devote himself to his research.
Although today's social activities made him tired, he was still passionate about his work. He believed that as long as he persisted in exploring, he would find the mystery of the universe one day.
In this way, Einstein spent another long and fulfilling night working tirelessly for his great theory.

Time passed in a flash, and on a cold winter day a few months later, Einstein was sitting in his study, concentrating on studying the notes in his hand.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Einstein put down his pen, walked to the door, opened the door and saw Henry standing outside.
"Henry, what do you want to see me so late?" Einstein asked with some confusion.
Henry said with a nervous look on his face: "Albert, I have something very important to tell you."
Einstein frowned "What happened?"
"Do you remember Niels Bohr, whom we met at the Halloween party last time?" Henry asked.
Einstein nodded, "Of course I remember we chatted for a long time. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Henry took a deep breath "Niles... Nils passed away the night before yesterday."
Einstein's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How could Niels..."
"It is said that he died of a heart attack on the spot." Henry said sadly, "We have lost another outstanding scientist in this circle."
Einstein was silent for a moment, his eyes showing deep sorrow. Niels Bohr was one of his best friends, and the two had many wonderful academic exchanges.
"This is so sad." Einstein sighed. "When can we go to his funeral?"
"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock in Copenhagen." Henry said. "I think you will want to see him off."
Einstein nodded, "Then I will definitely go tomorrow. Niels is a great scientist and a good friend. I must go to see him off."
The two chatted for a while before Henry said goodbye and left. Einstein returned to his study alone and stared at the notes in his hand for a long time, his heart filled with sadness and longing.
Einstein arrived at Niels Bohr's funeral on time the next day. Looking at his friend's remains, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Nils, you have always been one of the scientists I admire most. We have too many wonderful memories. I am extremely saddened by your passing. But I will always remember you and continue to work hard for science. May I Rest in peace."
Einstein gently kissed his friend's body goodbye and joined other scientists to see Niels Bohr off. On this day the entire scientific community mourns this outstanding physicist.
