According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, light can bend.

Airs Sunday, June 21, at 6 p.m.  As Einstein’s groundbreaking theory of relativity turns 100, Innovation Hub takes a look at the preeminent genius of the 20th Century. We’ll explain why Einstein was a rebel, how his work continues to shape the world around us, and what his life tells us about the nature of intelligence.

Join guests Walter Isaacson, Amanda Gefter, Hiawatha Bray, David Shenk, and Elaine Castles as they explore the continuing reverberations of the most important scientific theory of the past 100 years. Get excited as we prepare to beam the show straight to your radio stations at exactly, but not past, the speed of light.
