I caught on my local PBS station the Nova program "Einstein's Big Idea."
While I'm sure there were anachronisms, the clothes, hairstyles, backgrounds, vehicles, etc. all struck me as right. The only jarring moment came when a chemist, meant to be Lise Meitner, kept saying 'there are are 235 neutrons and protons in the nucleus of uranium' (not an accurate quote by me, either!), where any chemist would say 'there are 92 protons and 143 neutrons in the nucleus of U-235.' I have two chemistry degrees, and my mom, too, with her chemistry background and teaching of chemistry everyday; we were both bothered by that--who wrote that line? But the clothes were great, as was the aging of the characters and the casting in the first place. Ann in CT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
