Why Does E=mc2? (And Why Should We Care?)
Categories: Science & Math
Physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explain Albert Einstein's famous equation and why it matters. The authors show how ideas about space, time, energy and mass led to the theory of relativity, and how E=mc2 explains how the Sun shines, how nuclear power works and why particles have mass. They use simple examples and little mathematics to make the physics clear for general readers. The book was published in 2009.
