Gravity the most familiar yet most mysterious of natures forces. One hundred years ago, Albert Einstein made a mind blowing discovery what we feel as gravity is, in fact, the push and pull of space and time, itself. He called his idea general relativity. It is perhaps the most remarkable feat of thinking about nature to come from a single mind. CLIFFORD JOHNSON General relativity is undoubtedly one of the greatest scientific theories ever conceived. Its a theory of space, time and gravity. JANNA LEVIN One mathematical sentence, and from it, you can derive the understanding of the entire universe on the largest scale, and that is beautiful. NARRATOR Only now, a century after it was first proposed, do we have the technology to explore the extremes of Einsteins great theory supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, waves of gravity that distort space and time, the evolution of our entire universe. How did a concept that explains so much come from the mind of one manJOHN NORTON University of Pittsburgh Einstein had a magical talent. He could take a hard physical problem and boil it down to a powerful visual image, a thought experiment. SEAN CARROLL California Institute of Technology Suddenly, he realizes this is how the world works all this abstract nonsense is the correct theory of reality. NARRATOR To gain an insight into Einsteins mind and the true wonder of general relativity, we need to trace the crucial thought experiments that led to his great breakthrough. The seeds for his ideas were planted when he was just a child. Einstein grew up in a small house in Munich, in Southern Germany. His unique personality was evident early on. WALTER ISAACSON Biographer Like many great innovators, Einstein was a rebel, a loner, but deeply curious. He was slow in learning to speak as a child, so slow that his parents consulted a doctor, but he later said that thats maybe why he thought in visual thought experiments. His sister remembers him building little card towers, using playing cards. He was a daydreamer, but he was deeply persistent. NARRATOR Einsteins father, Hermann, manufactured electrical equipment. He nurtured his sons interest in science. On one occasion he brought him a compass. WALTER ISAACSON Now, you and I maybe remember getting a compass when we were kids, and were like, Oh, look, the needle twitches and points north. But, you know, then were on to something else, like, Oh, look, theres a dead squirrel. But for Einstein, after getting that compass, he developed a lifelong devotion to understanding how things can be forced to move even though nothings touching them. NARRATOR The young Einstein became gripped by a desire to understand the underlying laws of nature. Gundam Seed Destiny Episode 8 English Subbed. He developed a unique way of thinking about the physical world, inspired by his favorite book. WALTER ISAACSON The book Einstein loved told little stories, like whatd be like to travel through space or go through an electrical wire, and it made Einstein think visually. NARRATOR These imagined situations that we often call thought experiments, became a defining feature of Einsteins thinking. DAVID KAISER One of the critical thought experiments that Einstein began to play with, very young, around the age of 1. Its one thing to see, to imagine a light wave zooming past him, at some seemingly impossible speed, but what if he could somehow just propel himself, really quickly. What would it look like if he could catch up with that light waveWhat would he see WALTER ISAACSON He said it caused him to walk around in such anxiety his palms would sweat. Now, you and I may remember what was causing our palms to sweat at age 1. But thats why hes Einstein. NARRATOR This dream like thought about the nature of light was Einsteins first step on the path to his great theory. It stayed with him, throughout his time at school and college. DAVID KAISER He was extremely gifted in science and math, as a young person, and very bad at other classes, mostly cause he kept cutting class and being very rude to his teachers. Many teachers from when. He was a discipline problem, and he was bad news. WALTER ISAACSON He applies to the second best university in Zurich, the Zurich Polytech, and gets rejected,Id love to meet the Admissions Director who rejected Albert Einsteinbut eventually he gets in. And he does moderately well, but not good enough to get a teaching fellowship. And so he ends up at the Bern Swiss Patent Office, as a third class examiner. NARRATOR Undaunted by his university results, Einstein started work at the patent office in 1. Here, his job was to assess the originality of new devices. DAVID KAISER He was immersed in the kinds of, of, sort of, technical details that hed been fascinated by as a very young kid. And here he was, sitting in the kind of wave of, of, of the modern age. This was the era of electrification, so all the latest clever ideas for switching technology, for coordinating clocks, in particular, those were all passing through his office. NARRATOR Time zones had recently been introduced in central Europe, and accurately synchronizing clocks was a major challenge of the day. Switzerland was a world leader in time technology. Dozens of patents to link clocks passed through Einsteins office. WALTER ISAACSON He could whip through these patent applications, and then, out of his drawer, hed pull his physics notes. And his boss was very indulgent and would, sort of, turn a blind eye, as Einstein was doing his theories in his spare time. SIMON SCHAFFER University of Cambridge Its really important to remember that theoretical physics was new when Einstein was a young man. You could do quite a lot of this work by reading a relatively small number of science journals and making the calculations yourself. Einsteins world, in 1. One was about 2. 00 years old, and it was founded by Isaac Newton, a British natural philosopher. For Newton, all there is in the world is matter, moving. NARRATOR Newton showed that the motion of falling apples and orbiting planets are governed by the same force gravity. His equations are so effective, we still use them today to send probes to the farthest reaches of the solar system. The other important theory of Einsteins day covered electricity and magnetism. That branch of physics had been revolutionized, in 1. Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwells theory describes light as an electromagnetic wave that travels at a fixed speed. In Newtons world, the speed of light is not fixed. SIMON SCHAFFER Einstein can see that theres a contradiction between Newton and Maxwell. They just dont fit together. And one of the things Einstein hated, hated was contradiction. If theres one kind of physics that says this and another kind of physics that says that and theyre different, thats a sign that somethings gone wrong, and it needs fixing. How Albert Einstein Used His Fame to Denounce American Racism. Science. As the upcoming March for Science gathers momentum, scientists around the country are weighing the pros and cons of putting down the lab notebook and taking up a protest poster. For many, the call to enter the political fray feels necessary. Sure, scientific inquiry should be immune from the whims of politicians. It just isnt, science editor Miriam Kramer recently wrote in Mashable. Others worry that staging a political march will serve only to reinforce the narrative from skeptical conservatives that scientists are an interest group and politicize their data, as coastal ecologist Robert Young put it in a controversial opinion article in The New York Times. But the question of whether scientists should speak their opinions publicly didnt start in the Trump administration. Todays scientists have a well known historical model to look to Albert Einstein. Einstein was never one to stick to the science. Long before todays debates of whether scientists should enter politics and controversial scientist turned activist figures like NASAs James Hansen hit the scene, the world renowned physicist used his platform to advocate loudly for social justice, especially for black Americans. As a target of anti Semitism in Germany and abroad between the World Wars, the Jewish scientist was well aware of the harm that discrimination inflicts, and sought to use his platform to speak out against the mistreatment of others. In 1. 91. 9, Einstein became perhaps the worlds first celebrity scientist, after his groundbreaking theory of relativity was confirmed by British astronomer Arthur Eddington and his team. Suddenly, the manand not just his sciencewas front page news around the world.

The Times of London was no less breathless Revolution in Science Newtonian ideas overthrown. J. J. Thomson, discoverer of the electron, called his theory one of the most momentous, if not the most momentous, pronouncements of human thought. Einsteins social circles expanded to encompass the likes of Charlie Chaplin and the Queen of Belgium. As soon as he had the limelight, Einstein began speaking out. In interviews, he advocated for an end to militarism and mandatory military service in Germany he had renounced his German citizenship at age 1. While he never fully endorsed the Zionist cause, he spoke frequently of his Jewish identity and used his fame to help raise money for the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, making him a very public face not just of science but of Jewishness. I am really doing whatever I can for the brothers of my race who are treated so badly everywhere, he wrote in 1. His identity politics aroused the ire of many people in Germany, including those who were motivated by nationalism and anti Semitism. Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, who eventually became a Nazi, fought hard behind the scenes to make sure Einstein wouldnt win a Nobel himself. Ultimately the Nobel committee decided not to award any physics prize in 1. Semitic pressures from Lenard and others. They honored Einstein the following year, giving him the delayed 1. Niels Bohr, who got the 1. In 1. 92. 9, a German publisher distributed a book titled One Hundred Authors Against Einstein. Although it was primarily a compilation of essays seeking to disprove the theory of relativity, the book also included some openly anti Semitic pieces. But it wasnt just anti Semitic scientists who criticized Einstein. Fellow scientists, including Einsteins friends, expressed disapproval of his love of the limelight. I urge you as strongly as I can not to throw one more word on this subject to that voracious beast, the public, wrote Paul Ehrenfest, Einsteins close friend and fellow physicist, in 1. Max and Hedwig Born, two other friends, were even more adamant, urging him to stay out of the public eye In these matters you are a little child. We all love you, and you must obey judicious people, Max wrote to him the same year.

AP PhotosJust as Einsteins enemies used his Jewish identity to attack his science, Einstein himself drew on his Jewishness to amplify his message about social justice and American racism. Being a Jew myself, perhaps I can understand and empathize with how black people feel as victims of discrimination, he said in an interview with family friend Peter Bucky. While his political opinions made him a controversial figure, they also got traction, because his words resonated more than most. Einsteins first aggressive criticism of American racism came in 1. Hitlers rise to power. That year, he joined writer Theodore Dreisers committee to protest the injustice of the Scottsboro Boys trial. In the trial, now one of the most iconic instances of a miscarriage of justice in America, nine African American teenagers were falsely accused of raping a white woman. Eight were convicted and sentenced to death without evidence or adequate legal defense, and under pressure from armed white mobs. The case was then successfully appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court, an effort led by both the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP and the Communist Party. As a result, many white Americans took the wrong side of the case not only out of racism, but out of anti Communist sentiment. Robert Millikan, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner, criticized Einstein for associating himself with left wing elements in the Scottsboro case, calling his politics nave. Their disagreement didnt stop Millikan from trying to recruit Einstein for Caltech. Other Americans were less polite Henry Ford of car manufacturing fame republished libelous essays from Germany against Einstein. Also in 1. 93. 1, Einstein accepted an invitation from the great African American sociologist and NAACP co founder W. E. B. Du Bois to submit a piece to his magazine The Crisis. Einstein took the opportunity to applaud civil rights efforts, but also to encourage African Americans not to let racists drag down their self worth. This. more important aspect of the evil can be met through closer union and conscious educational enlightenment among the minority, he wrote, and so emancipation of the soul of the minority can be attained. Yet whatever problems America had with inequality and racism at this time, Europe had problems of its own. In 1. 93. 3, a well timed job offer in the states led Einstein to become a citizen of the nation he loved enough to criticize. Einstein and his wife, Elsa, en route on their first trip to America in 1. AF archive AlamyEinstein and his wife Elsa left Germany in December 1. Armed with 3. 0 pieces of luggage, the pair were ostensibly taking a three month trip to America. But they knew what was coming In January 1. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party took full control of the German government. While the Einsteins were in California, the Nazi government passed a law banning Jews from teaching in universities. It is not science that must be restricted, but rather the scientific investigators and teachers, wrote one Nazi official.

In their absence, the police raided the Einsteins apartment and their vacation cottage under the pretense of looking for weapons. When they found nothing, they confiscated the property and put a 5,0.
