Einstein's Big Idea
This brilliant and suspenseful documentary reveals how Einstein arrived at his astonishing breakthrough formula, the famous E=mc2, beginning with the rich and sometimes tragic stories of his predecessors, including Faraday, Lavoisier and Meitner. Stunning period recreations tell this incredible story of human persistence, ingenuity and sacrifice as each discovery builds on the next, ultimately leading to the unleashing of the power of the atom. Based on David Bodani's best-seller, 'E=mc2'.
