“Cox and Forshaw make a good point in stating that space, time,
and even nature are contained within the equation…Although the
theory might be tricky, the authors show they understand readers
are not on their level. By going one step at a time, the buildup
ensures each chuck is absorbed slowly rather than all at
once.”

內容簡介：
What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and Professor
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 re-creating 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.
