Description
Exploring one of the most famous equations in physics, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the secrets behind E=mc2. This accessible explanation of the theory of relativity delves into the nature of energy, mass, and light, dispelling common misconceptions along the way.
The authors visit the Large Hadron Collider, a groundbreaking particle accelerator that recreates conditions from just fractions of a second after the Big Bang. By examining this cutting-edge technology, they demonstrate how the structure of nature is contained within Einstein's equation.
