Fans of Nova/PBS

All you fans of Nova and PBS they are airing a special this Sunday night:
"Einstein's Big Idea"

Broadcast: October 11, 2005, 8-10 p.m. ET/PT
(NOVA airs Tuesdays on PBS at 8 p.m. Check your local listings as
dates and times may vary.)

Exactly 100 years ago, Albert Einstein grappled with the implications
of his revolutionary special theory of relativity and came to a
startling conclusion: mass and energy are one, related by the
formula E = mc2. In "Einstein's Big Idea," NOVA dramatizes the
remarkable story behind this equation. Based on David Bodanis's
bestselling book E = mc2: A Biography of the World's Most Famous
Equation, the program explores the lives of the men and women who
helped develop the concepts behind each term in the equation: E for
energy; m for mass; c for the speed of light; and 2 for "squared,"
the multiplication of one number by itself. Like a multi-plot novel
building to a climactic scene, "Einstein's Big Idea" traces the
stories of a fascinating range of characters.

thats some good stuff. i now i will not be able to remember to watch it

I prefer "super geek".

Honestly though, Einstein’s special theory of relativity has affected our daily lives in ways you can not even imagine. From rocket propulsion and the space age, to the cold war, to computers and micro processors, to the material that goes into our snowboards.



I love physics :)
