What's left behind the scenes

  • At one point, Albert Einstein (1879-1955) walks past black-red-gold German flags. This flag was only adopted in 1919, while at the beginning of World War I, the German flag consisted of black, white, and red horizontal stripes.
  • Oliver Lodge's son, Raymond, did indeed die in the Battle of Ypres, but from shrapnel, not from gas poisoning, and this happened almost five months after the first use of chemical weapons. And he served not in the Cambridgeshire Regiment, but in the Lancashire Regiment.
  • At the end of the film, they show Einstein being photographed with his tongue sticking out. In reality, this happened at a different point in his life. On Einstein's 72nd birthday, photographer Arthur Sasse repeatedly asked the physicist to smile for the camera, and Einstein, who had already smiled for photographers several times that day, stuck his tongue out instead of smiling.
  • In a Berlin café, German officers are shown wearing forage caps and helmets, which was forbidden by regulations. Moreover, wearing headgear indoors was considered bad form in almost all of Europe.
  • Elsa Einstein is portrayed as much younger than her husband in the film, although in reality she was three years older.
  • The night before the solar eclipse, the moon is shown as full. This is impossible, as solar eclipses only occur during a new moon.
