Nova / Einstein's 100th anniversary show



Just read about this cool new two-hour edition of NOVA, called
"Einstein's Big Idea." It's supposed to air for the 100th anniversary
of the e=mc2 equation and be really comprehensive. There are vivid
re-enactments of Einstein and his wife, and it even goes into detail
about the scientists that have preceded him, like Faraday and even
those that followed him - like Lise Meitner, who ultimately came up
with the nuclear fusion theory. The producer is David Bodanis, who also
wrote that book "e=mc2."

Premieres October 11 at 8 pm on PBS stations - here's a link for more
info. Here's a site all about this:
