Description
Exploring the theory of relativity, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the meaning behind Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. They simplify complex concepts of energy, mass, and light, and challenge common misconceptions, demonstrating how the structure of nature is contained within this equation.
The authors visit the Large Hadron Collider, a groundbreaking particle accelerator that recreates conditions from the Big Bang, and explain the science behind this massive experiment. A collaboration between a young professor and a distinguished physicist, this book offers an exciting and accessible explanation of the theory of relativity.
Through their journey, Cox and Forshaw aim to demystify the theory of relativity, making it easier for readers to understand the fundamental principles of the universe.
