Einstein Biography on National Geographic Channel

[jedishrfu]

For those of you interested in the racier side of Albert Einstein National Geographic Channel has started a series on it:

I've yet to see it but would be interested in anyone's opinion who has.

... interested in anyone's opinion who has.

I watched the first episode of Genius and from what I know of Einstein's life, it seemed accurate. I'll be watching the next episode, for sure. Who knows, I might even learn a little GR.

Based on the reviews, I will never watch it. Not that I watch TV at all anymore. But I'm waiting for an intelligent BBC production on the main group of physicists from 1900-1930. As far as the "racier" elements of their lives, pardon me while I vomit up my breakfast. I hate that sort of "entertainment."

Years ago there was an Einstein biography of several hundred pages. My prof said that everytime Einstein took a bathroom break the author wrote it down.
