Episode 39 - Einstein Since the World's been Turning
-
- History
No history of the 20th century would be complete without the inclusion of Albert Einstein. He’s best-known for developing the general theory of relativity, and for contributing to the development of quantum theory. But although Einstein is perhaps the greatest physicist the world has ever seen, his scientific achievements were only one part of a rich and colourful life. The eternal rebel and self-described “bird of passage” will be embroiled in, and marked by, some of the most turbulent events of the century.
