- TriviaAlbert Einstein's character is seen throwing his socks upon the crowd on a dock early in the movie. However, he never wore socks into adulthood in real life due to their propensity to make holes in the big toe.
- GoofsOne the night before the total eclipse of the Sun, a full moon is shown in the sky. That is impossible since a solar eclipse can only occur at the time of a 'new Moon', i.e. when the Moon is the opposite to being full.
- Quotes
[Einstein is trying to work out why Newton's Laws of Motion do not correctly explain the orbit of the planet Mercury]
Max Planck: May I ask you a very serious question? What if God were to say you were mistaken? If he said "Stop. Newton is right"?
Albert Einstein: Then I would thank God for his point of view, and we would agree to differ, and I would be left feeling very sorry for God.
