Publisher's Note
In 1905, Albert Einstein. a promising young scientist working full time as a patent clerk in Bern. Switzerland. had what historians have come to call a "miracle year-: He produced five historic papers that shattered many cherished scientific beliefs and established him as the world's leading physicist. One of those papers introduced the theory of special relativity and in what is now a famous supplement, presented his legendary equation: E=mc2.* Generations have grown up knowing the equation changed the shape of our world, but never understanding what it actually means and why it was so significant. In his new book. David Bodanis writes the "biography" of one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history, and through his skill as a writer and teacher, he turns a seemingly impenetrable theory into a dramatic and accessible human achievement. Bodanis begins by devoting elegant chapters to each of the equation's letters and symbols, introducing the science and scientist forming the backdrop to Einstein's discovery -- from Ole Roemer's revelation that the speed of light could be measured to Michael Faraday's pioneering work on energy fields. Having demystified the equation, Bodanis explains it mathematically and brings it to life scientifically and historically, making clear the astonishing array of discoveries and consequences it made possible.It would prove to be a beacon for physicists throughout the twentieth century, guiding Ernest Rutherford, who discovered the structure of the atom, Enrico Fermi, who probed its nucleus, and Lise Meitner, who finally understood how it could be split wide open. And it has come to inform our daily lives, governing everything from the atomic bombto a television's cathode ray tube to the carbon dating of prehistoric paintings. At first, Einstein was unsure of what he had accomplished. "The argument is amusing and seductive, " he wrote to a friend, "but for all I know, the Lord may be laughing over it and leading me down the garden path." In fact, Einstein did nothing less than open the door to the inner structure of the universe. In David Bodanis's skilled hands, that achievement is an uncommonly good story.
