Movie Reviews of NOVA - Physics: The Elegant Universe and Beyond
Movie Review: Does Expand Your Universe Indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
I think I have watched the "Elegant Universe" part at least ten times, and I learn something new each time. I found the biographies of Einstein very well done as well, (only watched them twice). Even though I am a physician, I have always had an interest in nearly all the "arts and sciences" ever since I can remember, and I am also a big science fiction fan as well. (Got my start at age 10 when I saw the movie, "2001: a Space Odyssey".) I find this DVD set to be so well done that I have bought extra copies as gifts for other people. It explains fascinating new concepts of how our universe is put together in a very "user-friendly" and creative/artistic way, and does it so well that you might just consider taking on a new hobby/career/college degree!!! A very provocative and inspiring production! The negative reviews that I read here sound like they come from people who are conceited know-it-alls who like to shove that fact into people's faces, and are NOT giving an accurate and fair representation of this collection of DVDs. If you have a natural interest in understanding how the Universe works around you and want to know how scientists are trying to add to that knowledge, you will NOT be disappointed by this set!!
Summary of NOVA - Physics: The Elegant Universe and Beyond
The Elegant Universe Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory Join host Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and the best-selling author of The Elegant Universe, for an in-depth exploration of the groundbreaking new string theory that will excite scientists and non-scientists alike. If string theory proves correct, the universe we see obscures a reality that is far richer and more complex than anyone ever imagined--a universe with numerous hidden dimensions, a universe in which the fabric of space can rip and tear, a universe that may be but one of many parallel universesBeginning with simple and clear explanations of major concepts of physics, including gravity, electromagnetism, and relativity, The Elegant Universe illuminates how string theory proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strands of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. If proven correct, this theory of "everything" would unite the laws of the large--general relativity--and the laws of the small--quantum mechanics--breaking a conceptual logjam that has frustrated scientists for nearly a century.
Einstein?s Big Idea Everyone's heard of it, but what does E=mc2 really mean? With brilliant period recreations, discover how an obscure patent clerk, Albert Einstein, came up with his shattering 1905 discovery that the realms of matter and energy are inescapably linked. Starring Aidan McArdle (Ella Enchanted) as Einstein, and Shirley Henderson (Bridget Jones?s Diary) as Einstein's first wife, Mileva Maric.
Einstein Revealed Journey into the mind of a genius in this penetrating profile of the world?s most renowned physicist, who contributed more than any other to our modern vision of physical reality. Andrew Sachs (Fawlty Towers) stars as Albert Einstein.
