OLIn 1905, Albert Einstein wrote a simple equation that shattered how humans understood the universe.
E = mc²
Energy (E) equals mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light squared (c²).
This meant something terrifyingly powerful: 👉 Mass is frozen energy.
A tiny amount of matter holds an enormous amount of energy because the speed of light is unimaginably
large.
Before this formula:
Mass and energy were thought to be separate
After it:
They became interchangeable
This idea unlocked:
Nuclear power
Atomic weapons
Modern particle physics
Our understanding of stars and the sun
The sun shines because it is losing mass every second, converting it into energy.
A small equation.
Infinite consequences.
One line of math rewrote the laws of existence.
