Overview

On November 25, 1915, Einstein presents his famous General Theory of Relativity. Just a few years later, his revolutionary ideas about space and time are confirmed during a solar eclipse. Overnight, Einstein became a scientific superstar. Einstein skillfully uses his popularity to give a war-torn world what it longs for: his genius, his humanitarian ideals, his unconventional appearance, his civil courage. Einstein's judgment was soon in demand far beyond the field of physics.

The Most Brilliant Human Mind - John von Neumann

Dec 10, 2024

John von Neumann, one of the most incredible Hungarian-born scientists of all time, was named Man of the Century by the Financial Times in 1999. Among other scientific works, Neumann pioneered game theory and, along with Alan Turing and Claude Shannon, was one of the conceptual inventors of the stored-program digital computer. In late 1943 Neumann began to work on the Manhattan Project at the invitation of J. Robert Oppenheimer, and helped to design the first atomic bomb. This biography showcases the famous mathematician's work and legacy from the perspective of his daughter and colleagues. It is based on artefacts and documents from scientific history collections and on the personal memories of Marina von Neumann Whitman, Neumann's daughter.

A Glorious Accident

Jan 1, 1993

One of the most interesting shows ever aired on public television was Wim Kayzer's interviews with six leading intellectuals who represented both the mainstream academic (Stephen J. Gould, Freeman Dyson and Stephen Toulmin) and more or less, as it were, "eccentric" outside the box groundbreaking intellectuals (Oliver Sacks and Rupert Sheldrake). Kayzer interviews each of them (and philosopher Daniel Dennett) individually and then has the entire group sit in a kind of round-table seminar that he moderates and lets the ideas fly.
