What is Why Does E=mc2? : (And Why Should We Care?) about?

Amazon.com Review Product Description The most accessible, entertaining, and enlightening explanation of the best-known physics equation in the world, as rendered by two of todayвЂTMs leading scientists. Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up EinsteinвЂTMs 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? In answering these questions, they take us to the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted. Lying beneath the city of Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss boarder, is a 27 km particle accelerator, known as the Large Hadron Collider. Using this gigantic machine—which can recreate conditions in the early Universe fractions of a second after the Big Bang—Cox and Forshaw will describe the current theory behind the origin of mass. From Publishers Weekly British theoretical physicists Cox and Forshaw offer lay readers a fascinating account of modern scientists' view of the world
