Do something amazing and learn a new skill thanks to the Little
Ways to Live a Big Life books! The beginning of the 20th century
heralded a scientific revolution: what a few brilliant minds
uncovered about our reality in the first twenty years has shaped
the history of our species. And one of them in particular stands
out: Einstein, with his celebrated E=mc2. In this remarkable and
insightful book, Christophe Galfard describes how E=mc2 is a direct
consequence of the Theory of Special Relativity, the theory of how
objects move and behave, at speeds close to the speed of light. He
considers Einstein's legacy in the light of the 21st century, with
fresh hindsight, and considers its impact on our vision of reality.
The reader will discover that far from being just a formula, it is
a brand new understanding of the nature of space and time. Some of
the greatest scientific breakthroughs in the history of science
have been made by geniuses who managed to merge and unite hitherto
separated domains of knowledge. Galfard explores two unifications
with Einstein's theories, and looks at the even bigger picture of
how E=mc2 has changed our world, and what it entails for the
future. Throughout, Galfard takes the reader on an extremely
entertaining journey, using simple, jargon-free language to help
the reader gain a deeper understanding of science. With humour and
patience, he guides us through the world of particles, anti-matter
and much more to bring us closer to an ultimate understanding of
reality as we understand it today.
