		Einstein often returns to this thought and it later leads him to investigate the paradox between Newtonian mechanics, in which such motion is easily conceivable, and Maxwell’s equations in which the light wave must always travel at the speed of light.
		Einstein later says “I could not have found a better sounding board in the whole of Europe.” The two often talk walking home or in the café Bollwerk, with Einstein often smoking cheap cigars or a pipe.
		Einstein has achieved his best (but not yet everything) in science and is now famous and increasingly involved in political debates, particularly for Zionism, pacifism and World Government.
