Time Tourists
While young and promising physicist Betty Olivery mourns her father’s death, she finds a new cause, a new purpose in life- she believes she has found proof that Albert Einstein had developed a theorem that could lead to actual time travel, and she is now trying to find the archived equation in order to turn theory into reality, to go back in time and save her father’s life.
When she meets Dr. Yoel Minkowski, a young physicist and the son of a famous professor of physics who had died under suspicious circumstances, the two embark on a journey in Einstein’s footsteps together – from Jerusalem, via Switzerland and Germany and all the way to Princeton University in the United States, in order to track that archived equation down.
