Einstein's Big Idea (2005 TV Movie)
7/10
A nice presentation on Einstein's life and legacy.
8 June 2006
It's interesting this was being named as 'Einstein's Big Theory' here in my country back then when I watched it. It's been some time this was shown here but then I remembered very well as I watched this documentary here that Shirley Henderson was part of this too given I first know her through the second and fourth Harry Potter movies (I know, LOL!). So it was easy to find out the show's actual title here because I recognized her at once on the documentary.

But enough of all those things. For as long as I remember, Albert Eistein was this slow-learner as a child but then went on to achieve later in life of what is probably one of the world's most famous equation in the history of science.

So imagine it was a real eye-opener to me as to how he really got his equation as I watched the show. It was pretty amazing that learning from what others did, he improved on it and it eventually led to the equation all of us knew since. As my knowledge on physics is very basic, it can be a little hard just to read the dry texts on my past Physics textbook. But when this was aired some time back here, it was something I so want to watch. Though I never study in my Physics syllabus about the famous equation, I had learnt and heard about its legacy to the world nowadays through my father who is more aware of it. It was mentioned on the show too.

Other than how Eistein got the equation, it even touched about his private life as well. Another aspect where it opened my eyes as well.

My final say? It's just basically what I had given the title to this review.
