Turn your unused ski gear, household goods, clothing or equipment into cash. Advertise in the CLASSIFIEDS. by Rick Brough The new program at Salt Lake's Hansen Planetarium is a classic contrast. A show on the eternal principles of Albert Einstein is paired with the ephemeral dazzle of TV commercials. The Clio Award winners for the year have been assembled as-sembled to play with the regular planetarium show. The program runs from March 4 to June 6. The planetarium show "The Universe of Albert Einstein" fits in the great "science-is-fun" tradition of teachers like Mr. Wizard. Dr. Frank Baxter and Carl Sagan. Occasionally, it's a bit elementary, but always clear-cut, personable, and fascinating. With vignettes, narratives, and drawings, we're taken through the life of perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived Albert Einstein. The program briefly explains ex-plains Einstein's revolutionary revolution-ary theories, using simple terms, and relates the later discoveries of other scientists scien-tists exploring the implications implica-tions of his ideas. The Einstein name is now a synonym for "genius," but the program also shows why he is also the most colossal case of ignored brilliance. As a child, he was thought to be an idiot by his teachers. He was always questioning, not memorizing the rigid cate chisms of German education. educa-tion. At first, he could only find employment as a patent officer. When he finally left his job, it was to accept a full professorship. By that time, his theories had been published pub-lished and created a tempest in scientific circles. We follow Einstein's flight from Hitler's Germany (a Nazi wanted poster on him was labeled "Not Yet Hanged") and view his last days at Princeton, where one could travel at the speed of light, time would stand still. A further theory derived de-rived from this is "time dilation" the faster you travel, the slower time goes. The program illustrates the principle with a little story that has been adapted countless count-less times for sci-fi TV and books. While a wife jets around in high-speed space for a few years, her husband on earth ages half a century. Other scientists adapted the ideas to find concepts that are familiar today. For into a 15-foot garage. Her solution? She speeds for the garage at 50 mph, since Einstein says that objects shrink as they increase speed. She demolishes the garage, forgetting that Einstein Ein-stein also said the object, when stopped, would resume its normal size. Dumb woman driver! The biographical material also has an interesting lapse. While it devotes considerable consider-able time to Einstein's escape from Nazism, it also good. When a star explodes, a bright flash lights up the whole starfield. The Clio Award show looks like the usual attractive mixture of dazzle, magic and humor. It includes many of last year's classics, such as the super-fast-talking businessmen busi-nessmen from the American Express commercials. And who could forget the spot where all those jocks and ex-jocks from the Lite Beer commercials gathered to- The biographical material has an interesting lapse. While it devotes considerable time to Einstein 's escape from Nazism, it completely jumps over his involvement in atomic-bomb research, and his later qualms about the Bomb. " local schoolchildren knew him as the man who was "good at mathematics." He died there in 1955. The formula "E MC squared" is explained as Energy Mass times the Speed of Light Squared. This translates to a number of ideaslike the theory that you can generate a great deal of energy from a little mass. (A grain of sand could power a car.) Einstein believed that if instance, Einstein suggested, suggest-ed, rightly, that bodies in space would exert enough pull to slightly bend a light wave passing by. Another physicist wondered, what if a body exerted a pull so strong that light waves couldn't escape from it? You get a black hole! The show is consistently interesting, but a few of the little cartoon vignettes must have been written by Dan Valentine, Jr. In one, a wife tries to park her 25-foot car completely jumps over his involvement in atomic-bomb research, and his later qualms about the Bomb. The star-field on the Planetarium Plan-etarium ceiling does not tell the story itself. It's more often a backdrop for the projected figures or objects thrown up on the roof above you. The production is well-paced, sparked by music from classical sources or movie themes.

A Dr. Pepper commercial com-mercial has the usual gang of healthy young kids, but this time, they're dancing on the floor, walls, and ceiling of a large room!

Finally, the award for most impudent commercial goes to no, not the snide Burger King pitches. The winner is that commercial little vignette where a middle-aged father sees his wife weeping.

But that's not why she's crying, she says it's their exorbitant long-distance phone bill! Despite the jab at Mother Bell, you shouldn't hesitate to reach out and see the program at the Hansen Planetarium. "The Universe of Dr. Einstein" begins at 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday and Sunday. Admission Ad-mission is $2.50 for adults, $2 for students and senior citizens, and $1.50 for children child-ren 11 and under. The Clio show is free, but since it plays after the one-hour Einstein program, seating is not guaranteed.
