I can't explain it anymore than I can explain the math behind the Theory of General Relativity, but Nova's biopic of Einstein and how he came to develop his world-altering theories is THE most informative, enlightening and enjoyable film on science I have ever seen.
Perhaps I am not qualified to provide an un-biased review here, as I have viewed it over 90 times to date. However the overall production, writing, presentation, music track, editing and mysterious tone of I.E.M. is absolutely addictive. I honestly don't know how the producers of Nova did it and quite the task it was to condense the creative, personal and professional life of one of the smartest humans to ever live into a brief one hour special.
The presenters, scientists and astrophysicists all, illustrate Einstein's life in a series of staggering and intellectually gripping anecdotes. I now have the very basic mathematical formula for General Relativity committed to memory, compliments to Dr. Robbert DiGraaf, Director of the Institute for Advanced Research at Princeton. This is quite a feat, as I couldn't explain it in 100 lifetimes and you're looking at someone who failed Freshman high school algebra. But this is an example of just how impressive this film is.
I cannot recommend "Inside Einstein's Mind" high enough. I shall continue to view it, as it has become my default show to stream in my studio.
