Charles and Frances Townes got married in 1941, six months before the outbreak of World War II. They have remained devoted while Charles invented the laser and changed the world, as well as when he made astronomical discoveries like the black hole at the center of our galaxy. “The Marriage of a Scientist” gets exclusive access into his lab and home to get his secrets, while Frances plays an important leading role. It features three Nobel Prize-winning physicists and is an intellectual exploration of science, religion and our personal humanity.
