AnnotationEnergy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, which means that a tiny amount of mass can be turned into a massive amount of energy. But how? While almost everyone can recite Albert Einstein's most famous equation, almost no one can actually explain its significance. Physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explain the formula in layman's terms, and clarify why it is deserving of its place atop the list of most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Their investigation leads them into fascinating analyses of time, dimension, energy, and light, bringing physics and philosophy crashing together like a pair of atoms in a supercollider. Short DesriptionWhy is it that the speed of light is the exchange rate? Answering this question, this book demonstrates how, in order to truly understand why E=mc2, we first must understand why we must move forward in time and not backwards and how objects in our 3-dimensional world actually move in 4-dimensional space-time.
