Einstein's Unfinished Symphony
In spring 1951 the most famous scientist in the world celebrated is 72nd birthday. A horde of photographers were waiting to take his picture, and when he appeared that day he made on of the most endearing images of the 20th century. Albert Einstein was the physicist with the fame of an 'A' list movie star.
But behind that public image the greatest scientist on earth was facing professional ridicule. This is the extraordinary story of how Albert Einstein spent the last years of his life battling to destroy the consequences of his own work. It was a quest that would end in his failure and isolation.
He had been working on this last great theory for more than thirty years, but throughout this period many scientists thought he was wasting his time. This documentary tell us the story of his unfinished symphony.

I had found his biography (not sure if it was an autobiography) a while back at my local library for me to read during my vacations... in case of rain.
reply | permalinkI cant remember the title though, but it was in French and translated from German.
He also left tons of hand written notes and letters which many are also very interesting reads btw.
Anyhow, there must not be very much biography's on Einstein dating back to pre 1980 if not older.
Sorry I can't be of better help.
Good luck

Jack,
reply | permalinkJust curious - is there a particular biography you read on Einstein? I'd be interested in reading through it, rather than digging through random internet pages.

Yes, it is disgusting in regards to the man's memory. He wasn't a theist and had some words for those that are. I suggest you read his biography.
reply | permalinkHis declaration that "God doesn't play dice" is a metaphor to make his point, nothing more!

He wasn't as he stated in his biography and elsewhere.

Einstein was a Jew so it shouldn't be so much of a surprise that he was a theist.

That's what bothered me as well... a little less religiousness in there wouldn't have hurt.

I totally agree. Had seen part of a while back and didn't care to see the rest despite I'm an Einstein fan.

Constant references to "god". Disgusting. This video falsely represents Einstein as a filthy theist. Couldn't even finish it.
