NOVA is pop science at its (relative (ha!)) best. Airing Tuesday, 11 October, 8-10 PM, is Einstein’s Big Idea: featuring ten prominent physicists — two Nobel Prize winners among them — discussing Einstein’s life, and in particular, his theory of special relativity in terms accessible to non-phycisists. Check out the companion website for interview video clips, and an assortment of biography, theory, and history.
