Who was Mileva Maric? Why was she erased from Albert Einstein's life story? What significance does she have? At the crux of these questions are Einstein's revolutionary work of 1905 and the possibility that Maric was his scientific collaborator.
Einstein's autobigraphies never mentioned his first wife. The world only learned of her existence through the release of his private letters in 1987. This program invites viewers to explore the known facts of Mileva Maric's life and consider the probabilities.
