Albert's Dream Roberto Zompi

In Albert Einstein's study room at Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, a manuscript hidden behind the blackboard is found by chance. A few phrases reveal that the physicist was developing secretly a new quantum theory to solve a fundamental problem of physics, still open. The manuscript, however, is incomplete and the search for the missing parts puts in competition world-leading research institutions. A small group of creative students joins the race, but with an innovative approach. The story is invented. Still, it reports real events and ideas of the Physics of the last century, as a framework, together with new ideas for the future, to be developed.
