The documentary is entitled Einstein’s Unifinished Symphony. Einstein was able to unify the relationship between mass and energy in his formula E=MC2, and this paved way for harnessing nuclear energy, among other applications. Aside from unifying mass and energy, he also attempted to unify gravity with the subatomic forces, and he spent the last 30 years of his life trying to solve that. He was not able to finish the equation though, but it had me up my toes in anticipation. That would be really cool if someone could do that. Although I’m not really so well-versed in such matters–I’m not so good with computations–but it’s really an interesting subject for me. I admire Einstein for his perseverance in trying to answer those questions and to satisfy his curiosity.
