remains enjoyable due to its
central character, Albert Einstein.
"Einstein and His Relatives"
begins with a brief biography,
explaining how at the young age of
26, Einstein produced his most
significant work on relativity, and
how he eventually came to be an
American citizen in the early 40s.
The show continues with a detailed
explanation of Einstein's famous
formula, E=mc'.
Perhaps the most dynamic
portion of the show is when,
through the magic of the
planetarium, Einstein's notion of
an expanding universe is
visualized. It's mind-boggling to
realize that each of those hazy
cloud-like soots in th*? skv ic a
universe unto itself, and that all of
them, including our own Milky
Way, are expanding out. As the

"Einstein and His Relatives"
will continue through June 1, with
shows each Saturday and Sunday
at 2:30 and 4. As I've always said.
the planetarium experience is a
wonderful form, of alternative
entertainment, see for yourself.
In the mood for a little more
Einstein? Then make sure you
catch the national tour of the
theatrical event, "Einstein the
Man", which will have its
Columbia premier tomorrow in
Gambrell Hall Auditorium, for two
shows at 4:30 and 8.
"Einstein the.Man" is the brainchild
of actor/educator William Landry,
who both wrote and stars
in the one-man production. The
play, which first opened last
September at the American
Museum of Science and Energy in
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, hasrbeen
greeted with critical acclaim since
it began this nine-week tour of high
school and college campuses.
