Elegant Universe
Hey Everyone!
As Giselle wrote about a few week ago, we have started a new unit in TOK: Natural Science. To kick off this new area of knowledge, we watched some parts of the movie "Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. This movie goes into vast detail of some theories that scientists have come up with. This includes all of Isaac Newton's laws, as well as some of Einstein's too! The part of the movie that we did watch focused on many of Einstein's discoveries and the difficulties that he faced during his lifetime. It was very interesting to see the conditions that he worked under, as well as find out the number of years he spent on one problem! The movie also includes interviews of various scientists and historians that are very knowledgeable on many of the theories that are mentioned in the movie. "Elegant Universe" also has many clever special effects, that help intensify and explain scientific ideas.
