When the killing approached its height he wrote Lorentz in neutral Holland, “Men always need some idiotic fiction in the name of which they can face each other. Once it was religion. ” Einstein always loved Lorentz for that remark and was still quoting it many decades later. It was not an attitude likely to make him any kind of nationalist. The Paris Peace Conference, which opened on January 8, aimed at restoring many internationalist ideals, shorn of the wrinkles that had led to years of murder.

Meanwhile, during those dangerous days, Switzerland’s only intrigue came from foreigners, who were caught by the alert police. Germans and Russians were seized as I NEVER FULLY UNDERSTOOD IT 31 they made their way to Paris to murder the French prime minister, Clemenceau. Then Trotsky’s two brothers escaped from a French jail and were seized in Switzerland. Still more Russians and Germans were captured near Lake Geneva, on their way to murder the American president, Woodrow Wilson, at the Paris peace talks.

Einstein had based his general theory of relativity on a novel geometry that was unknown even to most physicists, and the few people who did know the math still had to work to discover what Einstein saw. It took Lorentz several months to work through the math before he understood the achievement well enough to congratulate Einstein on a brilliant success. Meanwhile Ehrenfest confessed wretchedly to Lorentz that he was still baffled. Beyond Göttingen the train route to Zürich went west-southwest, diving into territory devastated by actions that had been loosed without imagination.
