Step into Einstein’s universe through immersive experiences that transform abstract concepts into unforgettable encounters.
Exhibits will show how Dr. Einstein’s influence continues today, and how many of his theories have been proven in just the past several decades. Will wormholes to other places be discovered next?
Exhibits are being designed to balance deep learning, visitor appeal, and operational feasibility. Using enhanced AI, some exhibits will adjust to accommodate guest knowledge levels, providing everyone ages 8+ with an experience that matches their education and interest levels. What are your ideas?
Ride a Beam of Light in the immersion theater to gain an intuitive understanding of relativity.
Spacetime Theater – Also in the theater, relive the drama of the moment Einstein’s theory of gravity was proven during a full solar eclipse.
Visit The Mind Lab to be guided through reenacting some of Einstein’s thought experiments such as elevators in space, chasing light, and quantum weirdness.
Time Dilation: An Older/Younger You – See how you would age differently in space.
Active Atoms: Energy, Brownian Motion and the Bose-Einstein Condensate– Observe how particles behave as you adjust temperatures from Big Bang level heat down to several hundred billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
The Quantum Casino, offering games of chance based on quantum possibility.
Quantum Entanglement: The Game – Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance” and could never accept the idea, but quantum entanglement is real. To win this game, you must first entangle your particles, then compete to win.
Build the Universe by assembling elements from energy and atoms to galaxies and black holes, then set the whole thing into motion to watch spacetime develop.
Einstein’s Patent Lab – A space for tinkering with light, electromagnets, waves, solar energy, motion detectors, and more, all with direct connections to Dr. Einstein’s work.
The Photoelectric Effect – Explore the discovery for which Einstein received the 1922 Nobel Prize. Adjust wavelengths and metals to see how the effect changes.
The Speed of Light – Scientists have captured images of light moving at incredibly high speeds. Peek into a lab to see their latest achievements.
E=mc2 Energy Unlimited – Calculate how much energy your body’s atoms contain.Spoiler alert – it’s a huge number!
Albert Einstein: Champion of Racial Justice – Learn about his civil rights advocacy for and friendships with leaders including Paul Robeson, W.E.B. DuBose and Marian Anderson.
Einstein in New Jersey – Of all the places in the world he could have moved in 1933, Albert Einstein chose New Jersey. Find out about his daily life, his household, and his leisure time activities from sailing to making music.
