The World of Thinking

What did Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Kurt Gödel and John von Neumann have in common? Revolutionary theories of the 20th century’s most important scientists may have been born at the same location. The documentary depicts the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, a gathering place of the world’s biggest thinkers since 1930. Since then it has bred over twenty Nobel Prize laureates. Its main objective is to further the edge of human knowledge. The institute backs promising scientists from across the world who strive for breakthrough discoveries in various fields. In this stunning film, interviews with five accomplished scientists show not only their work, but also their private lives. (Academia Film Olomouc)
