Measuring the World

An imaginative comedy about Alexander von Humboldt, who traveled the world to survey it, and Carl Gauß, who stayed at home to discover it through his calculations; about two entirely different ways to experience and understand the world; and about the one and only thing these two great minds had in common: insatiable curiosity.
