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.

This is a fabulous telling of the importance of a great man. Brian Greene is a master at bringing the very complicated to the understanding of the ordinary man. His enthusiasm and knowledge are simply outstanding. We are lucky to have him.

Just fabulous

This is brilliant!! Even much better than the great writing of the book is the magnificent presentation of the audiobook. It's like being in a theatre of physics. Best audiobook I've heard. Great job!

The resultant Special & General Theories of Relativity on top of which giving more depth to the workings of Gravity, this was heady stuff. The maths was tricky but it had to be proven. Finally it was and to see how it all happened is a great story.

The great thinking that heralded new perspectives
