The Improbable Meeting between Marie Curie and Greta Thunberg
Bridging Centuries: A Dialogue of Science and Activism
On a clear, cool morning in Stockholm, Sweden, in a park near the Nobel Museum, a strange distortion in the air occurs. A flash of light appears, revealing a female figure wearing a long dress from the early 20th century. It’s Marie Curie, the eminent scientist and two-time Nobel laureate. At the same time, Greta Thunberg, the climate activist, is passing through the park on her way to a conference.

Greta: “Marie Curie? The famous scientist? But… you’re supposed to have died over a hundred years ago.” Marie smiles softly, fascinated by the passion in the young girl’s eyes.
