Working with Einstein
VHS, 60 min., 1979
Dr. Banesh Hoffman (Queens College), Dr. Peter Bergmann (Syracuse), Dr. Valentine Bargmann (Princeton), and Dr. Ernst Straus (UCLA) recount their individual collaborations with Einstein on aspects of his Unified Field Theory. Underneath every inquiry was Einstein's quest for knowledge of what holds the world together at the core. Each man offers loving, humorous tales of working with the master; for relaxation, they'd often play Bach and Mozart, with Einstein on violin.
