PHYSICS Russell Hulse, 42, and Joseph Taylor, 52, both of Princeton, provided the first support for a crucial prediction made by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity. The breakthrough came in the early 1970s as they searched the sky for pulsars, the superdense cinders left over when stars explode. Hulse and Taylor were first to find a double pulsar, a pair of objects whirling around each other in tight formation. Einstein's theory decreed that two such heavy bodies orbiting each other should give off gravity waves, which would drain off energy and cause the objects to come...

This world cinema classic, one of Sergei Einstein's masterworks, captures the defining historical memories of Russian culture and civilization.
