At 00:00:10,378, Character said: (ticking)

2
At 00:00:15,683, Character said: MAN:
When we think
of E equals m c-squared,

3
At 00:00:17,184, Character said: we have this vision of Einstein
as an old, wrinkly man

4
At 00:00:19,587, Character said: with white hair.

5
At 00:00:20,955, Character said: MAN 2:
E equals m c-squared
is not about an old Einstein.

6
At 00:00:27,762, Character said: It's actually about a young,
energetic, dynamic,

7
At 00:00:31,198, Character said: even a s***y Einstein.

8
At 00:00:35,002, Character said: ACTOR AS EINSTEIN:
What would I see if I rode
on a beam of light?

9
At 00:00:44,812, Character said: MAN:
Perhaps some sort

10
At 00:00:46,380, Character said: of electrical force is emanating

11
At 00:00:48,749, Character said: outwards from
the wire.

12
At 00:00:49,850, Character said: What?

13
At 00:00:51,085, Character said: MAN:
Faraday, my dear boy,

14
At 00:00:52,153, Character said: electricity flows
through a wire,

15
At 00:00:53,587, Character said: not sideways to it.

16
At 00:00:55,790, Character said: You see, John?

17
At 00:00:57,358, Character said: You see?

18
At 00:01:02,830, Character said: MAN:
It is my great ambition
to demonstrate

19
At 00:01:05,466, Character said: that nature is a closed system;

20
At 00:01:09,403, Character said: that in any transformation,

21
At 00:01:11,338, Character said: no amount of matter, no mass,
is ever lost,

22
At 00:01:16,043, Character said: and none is gained.

23
At 00:01:19,613, Character said: The people...

24
At 00:01:20,648, Character said: Lavoisier.

25
At 00:01:21,982, Character said: It is they who will determine
right and wrong.

26
At 00:01:28,956, Character said: ( both laughing )

27
At 00:01:30,724, Character said: MAN:
Emilie,

28
At 00:01:31,725, Character said: you are
being absurd!

29
At 00:01:32,793, Character said: Why ascribe
to an object

30
At 00:01:33,828, Character said: a vague and immeasurable
force like vis viva?

31
At 00:01:37,198, Character said: It is a return
to the old ways!

32
At 00:01:40,434, Character said: Are you capable of discovering
something of your own?

33
At 00:01:43,838, Character said: I discovered you!

34
At 00:01:45,506, Character said: WOMAN:
There is no right time
for the truth.

35
At 00:01:54,381, Character said: Fr?ulein Meitner?

36
At 00:01:55,616, Character said: Yes?

37
At 00:01:56,550, Character said: Otto Hahn.

38
At 00:01:58,953, Character said: The nucleus is our focus.

39
At 00:02:01,655, Character said: The Jewess endangers
our institute.

40
At 00:02:03,424, Character said: We can't harbor
a Jew!

41
At 00:02:04,592, Character said: If she stays,
the regime will
shut us all down!

42
At 00:02:11,799, Character said: They've split the atom.

43
At 00:02:13,901, Character said: No, no, no.

44
At 00:02:15,269, Character said: You've split the atom!

45
At 00:02:19,273, Character said: Energy equals mass
times the square of
the speed of light!

46
At 00:02:25,379, Character said: ( laughs )

47
At 00:02:30,451, Character said: Would you like me to check
your mathematics?

48
At 00:02:47,434, Character said: Major funding for NOVA
is provided by the following...

49
At 00:02:52,540, Character said: Shouldn't what makes
each of us unique

50
At 00:02:55,609, Character said: supporting NOVA and promoting

of men and women

56
At 00:03:17,231, Character said: engaged in scientific
and technological pursuit.

is also provided

61
At 00:03:31,745, Character said: by the Corporation

62
At 00:03:33,581, Character said: and by PBS viewers like you--
thank you.

63
At 00:03:50,264, Character said: NARRATOR:
A hundred years ago,

64
At 00:03:52,866, Character said: a deceptively simple formula
revealed a hidden unity

65
At 00:03:56,036, Character said: buried deep in the fabric
of the universe.

66
At 00:04:02,643, Character said: It tells
of a fantastic connection

67
At 00:04:05,980, Character said: between energy,
matter and light.

68
At 00:04:10,884, Character said: Its author was
a youthful Albert Einstein.

69
At 00:04:14,722, Character said: It's the most famous equation
in the world:

70
At 00:04:18,959, Character said: E equals m c-squared.

71
At 00:04:25,733, Character said: MAN:
All aboard!

72
At 00:04:30,571, Character said: ( train whistle toots )

73
At 00:04:32,773, Character said: LITHGOW:
But while we've all heard

74
At 00:04:34,975, Character said: of Einstein's big idea,

75
At 00:04:36,677, Character said: very few of us know
what it means.

76
At 00:04:41,982, Character said: In fact, E equals m c-squared
is so remarkable

77
At 00:04:46,553, Character said: that even Einstein wasn't sure
if it was really true.

78
At 00:04:54,194, Character said: WOMAN:
Albert, darling,

79
At 00:04:55,496, Character said: you're later than I expected.

80
At 00:05:00,334, Character said: We've only g***t sausage
and cheese tonight.

81
At 00:05:04,405, Character said: What is it?

82
At 00:05:05,773, Character said: We need to talk.

83
At 00:05:07,941, Character said: Has something happened?

84
At 00:05:09,376, Character said: Oh, no, nothing.

85
At 00:05:10,244, Character said: Sorry, no.

86
At 00:05:12,012, Character said: I spent most of the day

87
At 00:05:13,914, Character said: staring out
the window at work
looking at trains,

88
At 00:05:18,185, Character said: and I started
to think

89
At 00:05:19,353, Character said: about an object
and how much energy it had.

90
At 00:05:24,391, Character said: Can I explain it to you?

91
At 00:05:25,492, Character said: Of course you can.

92
At 00:05:26,660, Character said: But first...
( kisses ) dinner!

93
At 00:05:29,363, Character said: Hmm? Food, then talk.

94
At 00:05:34,635, Character said: I think the gods
are laughing at me.

95
At 00:05:40,941, Character said: LITHGOW:
The gods were not laughing
at Einstein.

96
At 00:05:44,411, Character said: He'd united
in one stunning insight

97
At 00:05:48,415, Character said: the work of many
who had come before him--

98
At 00:05:51,518, Character said: scientists who'd fought
and even died

99
At 00:05:55,055, Character said: to create each part
of the equation.

100
At 00:05:58,125, Character said: The story
of E equals m c-squared

101
At 00:06:00,994, Character said: starts long before Einstein

102
At 00:06:03,464, Character said: with the discovery
of "E" for energy.

103
At 00:06:19,913, Character said: In the early 19th century,

104
At 00:06:21,715, Character said: scientists didn't think
in terms of "energy";

105
At 00:06:25,786, Character said: they thought in terms of
individual "powers" or "forces."

106
At 00:06:30,991, Character said: These were all disconnected,
unrelated things:

107
At 00:06:34,261, Character said: the power of the wind,
the force of a door closing,

108
At 00:06:38,599, Character said: a crack of lightning.

109
At 00:06:40,367, Character said: ( thunder rumbles )

110
At 00:06:41,502, Character said: The idea that there might be

111
At 00:06:42,803, Character said: some sort of overarching,
unifying energy

112
At 00:06:46,373, Character said: which lay behind all these
forces had yet to be revealed.

113
At 00:06:51,645, Character said: One lowly man's drive

114
At 00:06:53,447, Character said: to understand the hidden
mysteries of nature

115
At 00:06:56,550, Character said: would begin to change all that.

116
At 00:07:05,592, Character said: MAN:
Young Michael Faraday hated
his job.

117
At 00:07:08,662, Character said: He was uneducated,
the son of a blacksmith.

118
At 00:07:11,198, Character said: He'd been lucky to become
a bookbinder's apprentice.

119
At 00:07:16,136, Character said: But Faraday craved one thing....
