BBC 拍的一部新电影《爱因斯坦与爱丁顿》,上面是预告片。
爱丁顿是爱因斯坦相对论的推广者。1919 年,他通过观测日全食时太阳附近星体的位置,证实了相对论。故事发生在德英两国互为敌视的历史背景中。
爱因斯坦的饰演者是安迪·塞基斯,曾经饰演过《魔戒》里的咕噜。
明日 BBC2 会播放。我呢,将来如果能有机会看到就满足了。

BBC Horizon - Einstein's Unfinished Symphony
As Albert Einstein lay on his deathbed, he asked only for his glasses, his writing implements and his latest equations. He knew he was dying, yet he continued his work. In those final hours of his life, while fading in and out of consciousness, he was working on what he hoped would be his greatest work of all. It was a project of monumental complexity. It was a project that he hoped would unlock the mind of God.
"I want to know God's thoughts"
1933 年,爱因斯坦 (1879-1955) 离开纳粹德国,来到美国。作为学者和犹太人,爱因斯坦在第三帝国处于极大的危险。
