haunted me for another era or two as I made my way to my room.

"Perhaps," I thought, "if I imagine my room, it will exist." I closed my eyes, and started imagining my room was just a few steps away. The image was growing more vivid when suddenly I ran into something. I opened my eyes, and there before me was a door. The number on it matched the number on my key!

I turned to the line, and yelled out: "If you will imagine it, it will become reality!"

My words seemed to fall on deaf ears. Only one person replied, "That's what they all say. I'll believe it when I see it." And on the line trudged to find the rooms that did not exist.

I unlocked my door to the room that was exactly as I imagined. My weariness from the long march was no match for the enthusiasm I felt as I began understanding how infinity worked. I imagined that I would open my door, and the Infinity Museum and Gift Shop would be across the hall. When I opened my door, sure enough, there it was!

As I entered, a salesman greeted me. "May I help you find something?," he asked.

"Yes," I said! "I want to see everything on Earth!"

"That will be on aisle twenty-seven," he replied.

I asked him, "Is everything in the universe in here?"

"Well, of course," he said. "It's all on the first three floors. Is there any reason you want to limit yourself to that?"

"You mean there's more than everything in the universe?," I questioned.

He chuckled. "Of course there is," he said. "In infinity, for this universe we have everything that has ever existed, everything that has never existed, everything that will ever exist, and everything that will never exist. But we also have more than that on other floors."

"How many floors are there?," I asked.

"More than you can imagine," he said with another chuckle. "More than you can imagine."

"I know," I exclaimed! "I want to meet Albert Einstein!"

"Certainly," the salesman said. "Right this way."

We walked around a corner, and down an aisle to where an old man with unkempt, white hair was sitting. I recognized him immediately!

"I'm so excited to meet you, sir," I exclaimed! "I've always wanted to talk to you, but you died before I was born! My name is . . ."

"Hi Tom," he said. "We've met before. Do you recall the dream you had after reading about special relativity?"

"Well, yes," I said. "But that was just a dream."

"It was not just a dream, my friend," he said. "It was a dream in which you had a revelation. I was there. It pleased me that you thought so highly of my work."

"Thank you, sir," I said.
