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.
