  (English version)
  Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf is back. This time he takes us on a journey through the life and revolutionary theories of the most famous genius of all time: Albert Einstein. SEinstein is the ultimate icon of our time. He devises the theories of relativity and E=MC2. His name alone is a metaphor for great intelligence. Robbert Dijkgraaf will explain that Einstein is not only intelligent, but also in the possession of a great imagination and a large amount of creativity. Similar to his previous lectures Dijkgraaf will use historical footage, spectacular animations, and also a ‘model of space and time’ to accomplish a good understanding of Einstein’s life, theories and thoughts.
