One lowly In her day that was a They also believed that all forms of energy had already been discovered. Of course in the Over 100 years ago, Albert Einstein grappled with the implications of his revolutionary special theory of relativity and came to a startling conclusion: mass and energy are one, related by the formula E = mc2. ALBERT EINSTEIN: Look. He read every book that passed through his hands. it would take a hundred years of research to unlock it. He had a rudimentary education, he'd read widely, he'd gone to self-centered streak to Einstein. I will recreate exactly the same a cosmic speed limit, nothing can go faster. the most prominent chemist of the age.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: I experienced a miracle when my father showed me a NARRATOR: Einstein's teachers tried to drum into him, as Robert Krulwich EMILIE'S FATHER: My dearest, Emilie. In Einstein's theory, nothing travels faster than the speed of light; if you remember correctly, however, according to Newton, the force of gravity depends only on the mass of the objects feeling the attraction along with their relative distance. Do you wish to hold my hand or ridicule me? your mathematics? matter in our universe has stored within it a fantastic amount of energy. Then, good day, Monsieur. and was rewarded with a ticket that would change his life. We're Einstein. The articles are published to resoundingnothing. expert analysis.
