About this product

Product Information

Most people know that Einstein's equation is important but they don't usually know why. This book takes an approach to the equation that concentrates not on the biography of Einstein but on the biography of the equation itself. David Bodanis looks at the ancestors of the equation, the three elements - e, m and c - before they end up together in Einstein's equation in Berne, 1905. From there he follows the course of the equation through the 20th century, focusing on the people who developed Einstein's work and its consequences. Without the equation for instance there would have been no atomic bomb, no lasers, no Internet and no science of black holes.

Does it all
As a physicist trying to engage others with the subject, this is a great and relatively easy read compared with many so called “popular science” books. Great historical content about the use of this equation in times of war. It also gives women due credit for their part in the early science involved. A great read.
