Synopsis
Energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, which means that a tiny amount of mass can be turned into a massive amount of energy. But how? While almost everyone can recite Albert Einstein's most famous equation, almost no one can actually explain its significance. Physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explain the formula in layman's terms, and clarify why it is deserving of its place atop the list of most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Their investigation leads them into fascinating analyses of time, dimension, energy, and light, bringing physics and philosophy crashing together like a pair of atoms in a supercollider.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he authors present a mild-mannered, digressive, mostly math-free walk-through of the world's most famous equation....The best thing WHY DOES E=MC2? does is remind us that Einstein's equation is not some esoteric idea best pondered by scientific supermen, but a profound insight that continues to change lives."
