Streaming NOVA: Einstein’s Big Idea Online.
Movie Title: NOVA: Einstein’s Big Idea NOVA: Einstein’s Big Idea is available for streaming or downloading. |
EINSTEIN’S BIG IDEA is an absolutely fabulous documentary. This film truly sets the standard for NOVa and makes me lament the fact that more programming isn’t done like this. If only the amount of money that goes into general programming went into PBS. That would be something else.

But enough of my own ridiculous desires. EINSTEIN’S BIG IDEA chronicles some of the most fascinating scientific work that has been done in the last couple of centuries. It is an idea so big that its implications have been vast, not just within the fields of science & mathematics, but in our society and culture at large. NOVA also shows how Einstein’s achievement was not the happy accident we often see it as. Instead, this documentary seeks to situate his discovery by exploring the lives of other pioneers in related fields, richly filling out the personal lives of these scientists and, above all, situating their achievements in a rich history and context.
In the end, EINSTEIN’S BIG IDEA accomplishes two goals. First, I came away from the program with a bunch of ideas and information swimming in my head, the result of handing me the information in a digestible format. Second, I was entertained throughout the entire program. It truly didn’t feel like I was learning–I was being entertained.

If only I could go back and replace some of the boring school films I had to watch in middle/high school with the sharp work of NOVA. It would have been a treat! If you haven’t seen the excellent NOVA lineup, I suggest that you remedy it with a liberal dose! Happy viewing!
This program has more science than (Einstein Revealed, Newton’s Dark Secrets and The Elegant Universe), although Newton’s Dark Secrets has its moments.
Einstein’s Big Idea is about the many contributions of earlier scientists leading Einstein to come up with E=mc2. It’s also about the later usefulness of E=mc2 in nuclear physics. Unlike Einstein Revealed, which is a story almost entirely about the life of Einstein (private and public), Einstein’s Big Idea is a story about science with its ups and downs. There are also some people stories as well, but they are added for dramatic value, which in my view helps instead of hinders the program.
I highly recommend this program for anyone who is interested in the evolution of scientific ideas (7 stars).
