A consideration of the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein’s most famous equation, E=mc².
Based on his groundbreaking book, written with Professor Brian Cox,Professor Jeff Forshaw will showcase an illuminating journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein’s most famous equation, E=mc². Breaking down the symbols themselves, they pose a series of questions:what is energy? what is mass? what has the speed of light got to do with energy and mass? Answering this question is at the heart of the investigation as it demonstrates how, in order to truly understand why E=mc², we first must understand why we must move forward in time and not backwards and how objects in our 3-dimensional world actually move in 4-dimensional space-time: in other words, how the very fabric of our world is constructed.
