Description:
Journey into the mind of a genius and visualize the thought experiments Albert Einstein could only imagine: mind-boggling meditations on light, time, and space that would forever change the way we view the universe.

What was the secret of Einstein's scientific creativity? NOVA's two-hour special traces his extraordinary rise from a student who flunked his engineering exams to the world's most renowned physicist. This penetrating profile of a scientist who changed our vision of physical reality includes dramatic recreations and easy-to-understand animations of Einstein's landmark Theory of Relativity.

Through Einstein's own words, learn how--after using his wife, Mileva, as a sounding board for his early theories--the young patent clerk abandons 'the unpredictability of human relations.' Then, follow his ferocious quest to 'glimpse the order that lies hidden in nature' -- a search that catapults him to the forefront of modern physics, but at great personal cost.

Special DVD features include: materials and activities for educators; a link to the NOVA Web site; scene selections; and closed captions.

On one DVD5 disc. Region coding: All regions. Audio: Dolby stereo. Screen format: 4 x 3 full screen.

Albert Einstein is probably the most famous scientist in history, but how much do we really know about him besides the hair, the bomb, and relativity? In Einstein Revealed, NOVA guides us through his life as reflected in his private papers, showing a man of turbulent emotions and strong obsessions, yet kind and gentle as a mother hen. Using dramatized interviews, historical photography, and computer animation to enlighten us about his personal life and his lifelong quest to understand nature, Einstein Revealed succeeds in showing both the man and his work as never before. --Rob Lightner
