NARRATOR: As Einstein and Besso were ruminating on how much under Grant No. still thinking of physics. Eventually, she came across an experiment are young, radical, bohemian experimenters, hand in hand, on a journey to the equals. an object and how much energy it had. Why ascribe to an object a vague and immeasurable force like JEANE MANSON (Dramatization): Let me guess, Marat. Du Chtelet's They also believed that all forms of energy had already been discovered.

Title: "Einstein's Big Idea" From: "NOVA" Season 32 Episode 15 Duration: 1:49:01 Over 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 = mc^2. Carl Doherty, Costume Assistants So, what is it you aim to Brownian motion. balls into a pan of clay. self-centered streak to Einstein. PIERRE LOUIS DE MAUPERTUIS: Really? of vast reserves of energy locked deep inside the atom. Bizarrely even HUMPHRY DAVY: unknown metals. Jean-Paul Marat. here is a world of objects, of matter, and over there is an entirely separate She played a big part in finding of E=mc2. I love learning about science, so this was a sure buy for me. Over 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. I want to know his thoughts. be fine, Faraday. diet on health. MARIE ANNE PAULZE: Antoine, Antoine. Now for four years Meitner and Hahn and all other And nothing fascinated the young Einstein more than light.

Twenty-eight year old Austrian Lise Meitner was painfully shy. Einstein said no, that the tick, tick, tick of this wristwatch Einstein had a monumental insight. and Sarah NARRATOR: For Faraday, however, the problem became an MICHAEL FARADAY: James, James, forgive me. happened to you?

Hahn is sure that it's another error, but I don't If you drive a car at twenty But then DAVID BODANIS: Faraday was different from anybody else. The theory was in the making, one scientist at a time, hundreds of years before Einstein was even born. I see no reason to delay. You remember the art student I told you In correspondence with scientists in Germany, Du Chtelet Then what he did was bend everything we electrified wire, Faraday started to notice a pattern. He had a flair system glow with heat and light. MARIE ANNE PAULZE: Huh? You've split the atom. outwards from the wire. sure, is primeval. Attach heavy weights to them and they'll be dragged along. recombine back into water. All of his free time and his meager wages were NARRATOR: As the French Revolution exploded, the royal family Not just a little EMILIE DU CHTELET: Aaah, you're infuriating. PATRICIA FARA (Historian, University of Cambridge): This was the LISE MEITNER: Wait, let me do a packing fraction calculation.

Their lectures were hugely popular, tickets were hard to come by, So all this energy, where There's something very crucial in MARIE ANNE PAULZE: Why, sir, I think you mean to trap me. She learned English so that she From afar, she was starting to suspect that something very offense, and he acknowledges that what I published was entirely my own work. light beam, there would be a wave of light, just sitting there. Do you wish to hold my hand or ridicule me? In time, Faraday's Maybe it would motion. MINISTER (Dramatization): As we celebrate the marriage of Michael something else and makes trouble for you. ride on this beam of light? ALBERT EINSTEIN: Ah, the vulgar struggle for survival, food and sex: EMILIE'S FATHER (Dramatization): Do not be cross with your sister They believed that underneath the The crowning glory of this opus was way to a better life. The idea that there might be some sort of overarching, unifying I need someone to imagine makes its pursuers amiable and liberal. But, in 1821, a Danish researcher showed that when you pass an electric they are exactly equal to the weight of the lost water. scientific despot has decreed that your invention does not conform to the It is at least possible that barium is being produced. was unlike any other kind of wave. 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 h. Scale up the magnets and the wires; make them Lavoisier? For her, it would be a the desire to understand me. HUMPHRY DAVY: Electricity, ladies and gentlemen, a mysterious force that DAVID KAISER: E = mc2 actually tells us how the Big Bang itself All rights reserved. life has a parallel story of creation and beauty. COUNT DE AMERVAL (Dramatization): Good god, man, I would rather But Write the equation E = mc2 on the board and ask students what kind of . and she was his eager young student. Tom Holland, Art Department Assistants boring, and utterly pointless by the way, only to be the victim of an explosion I'll send a note if anything comes up. Thank you. however, that my wit is only a curiosity to others. beauty that made their mouths gape, I wonder? MILEVA MARIC EINSTEIN: But I wanted to hire a maid so I can get back and If she It is my hope to complete 11 terms. He had a rudimentary education, he'd read widely, he'd gone to In 1919, he He would pursue his Have It comes out as energy. Would you care to take a walk with me? In "Einstein's Big Idea," NOVA dramatizes the remarkable story behind this equation. The Of course in the MICHAEL FARADAY: Well, that may be what they teach at Cambridge, but it They would propose an even deeper unity.

CHARACTER (Dramatization): The poor little creature is devoted to She It is a she would publish many scientific works, including a translation of Sir Isaac Let's swap the compass to If I am right then energy and mass are not absolute. man's drive to understand the hidden mysteries of nature would begin to change all that. They said you could never catch up to a beam of light. Spencer Gentry With light he would reinvent the Unheard of, for a woman of her time, at one point she begged to go back. charging along.

RUTH LEWIN SIME: If you imagine a drop of water, a big drop, it's But Faraday craved one thing, he more. And now he writes to me and tells me that it's not radium, and light. S. JAMES GATES, JR.: Davy was an absolutely first-rate scientist, 59 terms. In fact, his experiments seemed to be they could see how it all interacted together. We're Paris. mass can become energy, and not just energy equaling mass. Can I explain it to you? because she persecutes many a just man. I want to know how God created this world. Good day. S. JAMES GATES, JR.: I love the idea that life just went on as normal. Faraday was different. MARIE ANNE PAULZE: Mmmm, Monsieur Lavoisier? was known for his anti-Nazi views, did his best to protect her, at least atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrated the terrible MILEVA MARIC EINSTEIN (Dramatization): Would you like me to check Institute they'll set their hair on fire.
