About this listen

Best-selling author, superstar physicist, and cofounder of the World Science Festival Brian Greene (The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos) and an ensemble cast led by award-winning actor Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) perform this dramatic story tracing Albert Einstein's discovery of the general theory of relativity. Featuring an original score by composer Jeff Beal (House of Cards, Pollock), Einstein’s electrifying journey toward his greatest achievement is brought vividly to life.

The theatrical version of Light Falls was first performed at the World Science Festival in New York City.

Full list of narrators includes Graeme Malcolm.

Short interesting listen

You may like to listen to this even if you are not into science, just to understand the human part of the characters like the greatest scientist Albert Einstein. Well narrated.

Thank you teacher

Something I dreaded reading has been proven false. Greene knows how to create a path of understanding with little basic known facts and explain these complex concepts through a kid's level of understanding. Thank you

Einstein the genius!

The journey of Einstein and his genius explained wonderfully. The narration by Brian Greene & Rudd was excellent.
I recommend this Audiobook to everyone who loves Einstein.

Fascinating and almost like a thriller

The story was captivating and the narration was great. As if Einstein told the story himself.

A great foray into the Greatest of minds

I am glad I thought of Einstein's birthday and decided to read or listen to something about how he achieved what he achieved. For a novice into the mystic field of space-time warping and general theory of relativity it's an elegant and quite engaging storytelling and performance by the writer Brian Greene and his co-actors in voice.
This is an excellent overview of some of Einstein's famous theories and how he reached there. His contemporaries and their conflicting discoveries and how it shifted his focus into an expanding universe theory as well as the quest for the unified theory is a fascinating tale of scientific progress eliciting from the minds of geniuses.

Outstanding

This is the best and only audio book I have completely listened in my life. I like the way Einstein’s thought process is described. Being a non engineer speaker, I could understand most of it . Looking forward to learn more about theory of relativity.
