Unpacking the meaning of E=mc2

This book would be a great read for those who are interested in understanding the theory of relativity in simple terms. The authors use analogies and examples to debunk common misconceptions about energy, mass, and light while providing an exciting narrative of their journey to the Large Hadron Collider. By the end of the book, readers would be able to grasp the essence of one of the most iconic equations of all time.

Description

What does E=mc² actually mean? Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-first-century science to unpack Einstein's famous equation. Explaining and simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light - while exploding commonly held misconceptions - they demonstrate how the structure of nature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, we visit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator capable of recreating conditions that existed fractions of a second after the Big Bang.A collaboration between one of the youngest professors in the United Kingdom and a distinguished popular physicist, "Why Does E=mc²?" is one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of the theory of relativity.
