Broadway and film veteran Duffy Hudson brings Albert Einstein to life in this unique one-man show The Relativity of Albert Einstein
Imagine Albert Einstein explains the Theory of Relativity, in a FUN, EXCITING way, without mathematics or a knowledge of physics required.
The show covers elements of:
Einstein’s life and humor
The Speed of Light.
Time travel.
Gravity and Space-time.
What is E=MC2 anyway?
This show will excite students and adults alike to look at the workings of the Universe with new eyes.
It is a BLAST!
