Watch Einstein’s Universe, so that you can expand your understanding of this legendary scientist who has had an impact on all of our lives. 

Learning at home is always good, but with so many families doing remote schooling it is even more important than ever. 

My dad was a scientist, so he encouraged me to be intellectually curious from a young age. 

I already knew quite a bit about Einstein, but, of course, I learned a whole lot more watching this documentary. 

It was first released in 1979, and I’m pretty sure I watched it on TV, then.  

Einstein’s work was groundbreaking all those years ago, but is even more relevant today as scientists build upon his discoveries. 

The film has now been beautifully restored and remastered, so people of all ages can be inspired this legend.

    Even though 1979 isn’t that long ago, it is a lifetime or more for some people and technology has advanced during the ensuing years. It will be interesting to this in the eyes of 1979. Thanks for the chance to win it.

    This video sounds good. I like older films and since this was made in 1979, I know I will enjoy it. Peter Ustinov narrating it is also a plus. We don’t have people like Einstein anymore, or if we do we never hear about them, just athletes and celebrities.

    I grew up in MA, where WGBH was our local PBS station. And they have ALWAYS produced great television. Educational and they approach it in an interesting manner…it makes you want to continue watching & learning!
