Entertaining Einstein

Albert Einstein is not just a name that represents genius, his contributions to science are examples of what comes from an inquisitive nature and vivid imagination. Entertaining Einstein is a new show in the Davis Planetarium that treats the science and significance of Einstein’s work, but also introduces us to the person.

Current scientists strive to unravel the mysteries of space and time presented by Einstein. From E=mc2, and his theories of special and general relativity, Einstein is a name known the world over. Albert Einstein was a great thinker, but still just a man—quoted as saying both “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, imagination encircles the world,” and “When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks. ”

Get to know Einstein, the scientist, the theorist, the icon, the person—all on the dome of the Davis Planetarium.
