Einstein's miracle year

As the year 1905 began, Albert Einstein faced life as a "failed" academic. Yet within the next twelve months, he would publish four extraordinary papers, each on a different topic, that were destined to radically transform our understanding of the universe. Larry Lagerstrom details these four groundbreaking papers. [Directed by Oxbow Creative, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Debbie Miller].
