Chicago, 1969. 6-year old ANDREA GHEZ watches the moon
landing with her parents. Fascinated by the astronauts’ apparent weightlessness, she begins to ask questions about the unseen force of gravity and perform her own thought experiments.
Today Andrea is one of the world’s foremost “black hole hunters”,
testing Einstein’s ideas in places with the most extreme gravity in
the known universe.
Karachi, 1972. 9-year old NERGIS MAVALVALA witnesses a summer meteor shower and becomes obsessed with the enigma of gravity. Her questions lead her to a lifelong search for gravitational waves - elusive ripples in space and time that Einstein predicted, but never believed we could detect.
Today, Nergis is the Dean MIT’s School of Science and part
of the Nobel-prize winning team that detected gravitational
waves, pioneering a whole new way of studying the
universe.
While weaving together the stories of Albert, Andrea and Nergis,
EINSTEIN’S INCREDIBLE UNIVERSE will immerse audiences in their
imaginations at the moment of their greatest discoveries.
Using never-before-seen visuals on the IMAX and giant screen, we’ll
journey through time and space, test gravity on new worlds, free-fall
near the event horizon of a black hole and ride waves across billions
of light years. VISIT COSMIC PICTURE
