The essence of theoretical physics thrives on collaboration rather than individual genius. Physicists often prefer the company of their peers, as shared dialogue fosters creativity and innovation. Observing the dynamic exchanges among physicists reveals a vibrant interplay of ideas, with bursts of enthusiasm and collective refinement. Engaging with others not only enhances understanding but also leads to more profound insights, highlighting the importance of teamwork in scientific discovery.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, filmmaker Ron Howard, astrophysicist Janna Levin, and comic co-host Harrison Greenbaum celebrate and explore the life of Albert Einstein, including his path to scientific enlightenment and the impact of his genius on the world.
