Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking were two of the 20th century’s greatest minds. Einstein created the theory of relativity, a tool to explore and predict how the universe works — from its very creation to its ultimate demise. On the other hand, Hawking wanted to use this tool to discover a greater understanding of the universe on a quantum level, aiming to create a “theory of everything.” EINSTEIN AND HAWKING: MASTERS OF OUR UNIVERSE brings these two scientists back to life through interviews and recordings — sparking new discussions, disagreements and insights into their lives. Two titans of science, two mind-blowing theories — but who was the true master of the universe?
Albert Einstein was a German mathematician and physicist who developed the theory of relativity, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Stephen Hawking was a British scientist celebrated for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity, and his books helped to make complex scientific concepts accessible to everyone.
Host Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi, an American astrophysicist, cosmologist and educator, brings these two scientists to life through interviews and recordings, breaking down Einstein’s drive to explore and predict how the universe works and Hawking’s passion for understanding the universe on a quantum level. New discoveries prove that these brilliant minds shared a cosmic connection.
