    This movie appeared in YT AI suggestions when I was looking for thriller
    or action movies.

    It's pure propaganda and idealization of Einstein's life, mixed with historical references to science since Newton and comments from science divulgators.

    The fact that comments are turned off tell a lot of things on this movie.

    According to it, Einstein's insight that led him to his 1905 paper came
    when he was watching clocks of different buildings, being on a roof and
    in company of Michele Besso.

    The core idea was: IF the speed of light is constant, THEN the time of different clocks, viewed at a distance, HAVE TO CHANGE (dilate) according
    to its position, in order to VERIFY the constancy of the speed of light.

    So, the insight was: The farther the clock, the slower it must run (no motion).

    I was peeping the film, seeking for a breakthrough, which I found at 1:10:02.

    Such aberration of the narrative shocked me for the level of naivety and disinformation in this apologetic movie.

    I decided to post this here, so you have something else to discuss about.

    My total time of viewing didn't last more than 5 minutes of the entire
    1:47:14 hr of duration. My stomach couldn't take more than this time.

    That the comments are turned off is an example of relativity functioning as an ideology defending itself by censoring.

    One additional thing that didn't fit is that the actor that portrays Einstein looks like a smart cocky guy.

    Even Michelle Besso's character was made to look smart and with a personality, instead of the real Besso, which looked like
    a submissive retarded bear in different historical photos.

    But, propaganda is propaganda.

    I forgot: Mileva Maric is portrayed as a submissive retarded housewife. Nice touch of the filmmakers.

    This docudrama examines the history of scientific discovery that lead up to Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 and its aftermath in the creation of nuclear energy.



    Synopsis

    Everyone's heard of it, but what does E=mc² really stand for? And why did it change the world? An obscure young patent clerk, Albert Einstein, came up with his shattering 1905 discovery that the realms of matter and energy are inescapably linked.
    Einstein's Big Idea reveals the roots of his astonishing breakthrough in the human stories of men and women whose innovative thinking across four centuries helped lead to E=mc² , and ultimately unleashed the power of the atom. As one discovery builds on
    the next, Einstein's Bid Idea show how Einstein's saga began with the personal lives of the pioneers of modern science and their years of persistence, ingenuity, sacrifice, and struggle against the odds.

    The film stars Aidan McArdle (from Ella Enchanted) as Einstein, and Shirley Henderson (from Harry Potter) as Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric. Narrated by John Lithgow, this documentary is based on the book "E=mc² -A Biography of the World's Most
    Famous Equation" by Davis Bodanis.

    In this movie appears Wolf Kahler who will later play Ludendorff, chemist and Fritz Shimon Haber's close friend in Haber (2008).

    Why critisise a popularising movie
    when you could have read the book instead?
    Don't be lazy, go ahead, and find your customary 400 errors in it,

    The World's Most Famous Equation is F = ma (Newton - Euler)

    The World's Second Most Famous Equation is V = I.R (Ohm)

    The World's Third Most Famous Equation is Debt = (Loan - Monthly Payments) (1 + monthly interest)ᴹᴼᴺᵀᴴ [Jews, 2000 years ago]

    Actually, he liked to do it with shy, super smart but submissive women who might help to launch his career or, later, blood relatives exclusively (cousins, nieces). Eventually, with closest, super smart and submissive friends (bearded or not).

    He mounted a career on his dick.
