A documentary produced in 1979 to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Albert Einstein. Narrated and hosted by Peter Ustinov and written by Nigel Calder.
New York. Marilyn Monroe har just spelat in den klassiska scen där hennes klänning blåser upp i ett vinddrag. Några kvarter bort sitter Albert Einstein ensam i sitt hotellrum, sömnlös och hemsökt av mardrömsbilder från dagen då bomben föll i Hiroshima. Om dessa två hade träffats denna natt, vad hade de pratat om? ”She’s the Bomb” leker skickligt med tanken på att fyra av femtiotalets främsta ikoner – Monroe, Einstein, baseballstjärnan Joe DiMaggio och senator Joseph McCarthy – sammanstrålade av en slump under en het sommarnatt 1954. Med intelligens och svart humor avslöjar filmen människorna bakom legenderna: den paranoide kommunistjägaren McCarthy konfronteras med pacifisten och socialisten Einstein. DiMaggio sörjer ett äktenskap i upplösning. Och Marilyn Monroe får äntligen sin chans att ge Einstein sin högst personliga tolkning av relativitetsteorin.
The creative processes of avant-garde composer Philip Glass and progressive director/designer Robert Wilson are examined in this film. It documents their collaboration on this tradition breaking opera.
Albert Einstein is the son of a Tasmanian apple farmer, who discovers the secret of splitting the beer atom to put the bubbles back into beer. When Albert travels to Sydney to patent his invention he meets beatuiful French scientist Marie Curie, as well as several unscrupulous types who try to take advantage of the naive genius and his invention.
Albert Einstein hjälper en ung man som är kär i Einsteins systerdotter att fånga hennes uppmärksamhet genom att tillfälligt låtsas vara en stor fysiker.
The core of the video is a pedagogical workshop on the Theory of Special Relativity as part of the educational process conducted by our youth leadership. Not for the sake of understanding the theory itself, but using Einstein's particular discovery as a case study to demonstrate and walk people through real human thinking, as being something above sense perceptions or opinions. We end with reflecting on the principle of relativity in terms of social relations and individual identities or thought processes, asking the question - how was Einstein able to make his breakthrough?
En helt ny film med hyllade skådespelare som Elle Fanning, Nathan Lane, Frances de la Tour och John Turturro. Följ med Mary på ett magiskt äventyr där hennes nötknäppare plötsligt får liv och tar henne med till en förtrollad värld fylld av magiska leksaker, läckra godsaker och dansande féer. Mary upptäcker snart att den onda Råttkungen hotar kungariket, och för att rädda Nötknäpparen måste Mary avslöja Råttkungens hemlighet och befria kungarikets rättmätige prins. Filmen bygger på samma berättelse som inspirerade den ryske kompositören Tjajkovskij att skapa musiken till sin världskända balett och innehåller åtta helt nya sånger av den Oscar®-belönade textförfattaren Tim Rice (The Lion King, Evita).
"Happy Birthday" is an outlook vision about the duel between the bible hero Jesus and a man-made robot. Does the robot manage to break the formed dogmas and convert the religion into his favour or will the status quo remain firm?
It's the greatest myth of the German post-war era: The Amber Room. Since its disappearance in 1945 from Koenigsberg Castle, legions of treasure hunters have tried and failed to find the room. It is said that Physics genius, Albert Einstein hid the legendary Amber Room from the Nazis in the turmoil of the last days of the war. It bears a secret within its amber - in wrong hands, it could destroy mankind! Our adventurers, Eik, Katharina and Justus, come across an incredible trace and with the help of Einstein's great-granddaughter Mila, together they fight off a ruthless pharmaceutical magnate who spares no effort to get ahold of the Amber Room. From Europe's biggest monument in Leipzig, through the halls of Munich's German Museum, across the dunes of St. Peter-Ording, to the Nazi caves of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The adventurous hunt begins.

This seminal work of avant-garde opera from composer Philip Glass and director Robert Wilson arrives full-circle, coming to France, the site of its 1976 Avignon Festival world premiere, at the tail end of this 2014 revival tour for a landmark Theâtre du Châtelet production and a first ever filming by award-winning arts filmmaker Don Kent. Eschewing conventional narrative, the opera revolves loosely around pacifist Einstein’s relationship to the creation of the atomic bomb.
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has revolutionised our understanding of gravity, space and time. Initially acclaimed, then forgotten, and now rediscovered, the adventure of this hundred-year-old theory has marked the scientific history of the 20th century. From its inception, a mathematical difficulty arose that could have nipped the theory in the bud: the Schwarzschild singularity. In the company of great international relativistic physicists, the viewer embarks on a discovery of this theory with a singular destiny. We discover a "curved" universe that proves to be even stranger than Einstein had envisioned, and harbours some objects - such as black holes - that still challenge today's scientists.
Why do things fall to the ground without magic? The young magician's apprentice Limbradur is far more interested in the universe and its secrets than boring magic spells. He is fascinated by the stars, the universe and the laws of nature. So, one night he sneaks into the Albert Einstein Museum, where he meets AlbyX3, a small, clever but rather quirky robot who knows all about Albert Einstein and his theories. Alby takes Limbradur on a magical journey of discovery through time and space, during which they not only uncover the secrets of gravity but also learn much about friendship and imagination. For Limbradur and Alby both have secrets of their own.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili investigates the amazing science of gravity. As well sculpting our universe, gravity also affects our weight, height and even the rate at which we age.

Who invented time, who invented the clock? Why 1 hour, why 60 minutes, why 60 seconds? Since prehistoric times, man has sought to measure time, to organize social and religious life, to plan food supply... Today we can surf the Internet, geolocate, pay by credit card… All our daily lives depend on time and the synchronization of clocks. The history of the invention of time and of the ways and instruments to measure it is a long story…
Explore how one man's relentless drive and invention of the atomic bomb changed the nature of war forever, led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and unleashed mass hysteria.
