THE FARAWAY NEARBY
"Would you risk it all for a chance at being the first to make a discovery, even if it consumed your life? Physicists, artists, and other creatives explore the emotional side of discovery and question whether the risk is worth the journey."
Directed by Paula M. Froehle
The Faraway Nearby follows the tragic life of pioneer physicist Joseph Weber, whose pursuit of gravitational waves takes him on a dizzying journey from the height of acclaim to the depths of despair and disdain when he breaks the cardinal rule of science and clings to his ideas though his results can't be duplicated.
