Einstein's Journey to the Cosmos (2 Part Series)

How Einstein's 20th century theories are shaping 21st century science. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein is universally considered one of the greatest thinkers of modern times, a man whose name is synonymous with genius itself. Yet despite the consensus, few really understand the ideas and applications of his theory of relativity and other important works. Perhaps fewer still realize how important his research is to astrophysicists today, as they search the skies to study black holes, seek out new worlds, and even investigate travel through time. Rather than take for granted that Einstein was brilliant, this two-part series explores the development of this theories on time, space, and gravity, to show how his work is as important today as it was in the past century. But what point would there be in talking about Einstein's works if it were not done in terms that could be understood by the average person? Through the use of carefully constructed graphics, in-depth interviews with top astrophysicists, beautifully captured video, and even an animated Einstein, this documentary series presents Einstein's theories and their applications in a down-to-earth way that will make the viewer appreciate the Universe and what it holds? Whether it's understanding the nature of black holes, how we use Einstein's theories to explore stars, or what we know about the origins of the Universe, this series presents a gripping way to learn how the cosmos work. It is sure to pique the interest of those who wonder what is out there, how it got there, and how we on Earth came to know about it.
