A '* u>u iicarjf uii uic science, yei 11 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.
