I watched both episodes of Absolute Zero, and the first of E = MC^2. Very, very good. You know, it's a pity Faraday wasn't as competent in maths as Maxwell was, but Faraday was more the experimentalist and Maxwell the theoretician. The equations for light might have been discovered 30 or 40 years earlier, if he had been.
It's a damn travesty of justice that they don't recognise Einstein's first wife, Marleva Marich, for her contribution to his works. Einstein may have been the visionary but she was a far better mathematician than he ever was. She was more the typical scientist....highly analytical and methodical. He was more the dreamer.
