Albert Einstein & E=Mc2
Floris K Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879.He was a theoretical physicist and his energy formula, E= MC2, made him a world famous mathematician. Before Hitler came to power in Germany, Einstein worked as a University professor in Berlin. He was visiting the United States when Hitler took power, and decided to stay in the US, becoming a citizen in 1940. During the war he worked on the Manhattan Project, which was a project that produced the first atomic bombs. Although he worked on the project, Einstein was against using nuclear fission to create weapons. Einstein’s most well known achievement is the E=MC2 formula. His formula is based out of his Theory of Relativity. The theory tries to explain why the speed of light never changes. Because the speed of light is so fast, we never notice it in our daily lives. In Einstein’s energy formula, E represents energy, M represents mass and C2 represents the speed of light. The formula is important because it tells us that mass and energy are related, and when mass is converted totally into energy, how much energy will be created. The purpose of the formula is that it explains the energy produced by an object based on its mass and speed. The formula is still used today for many different reasons. Nuclear power plants, the study of stars and universe, and atomic science. The formula is basically explaining that the energy stored in any given amount of matter is equal to the mass of that matter multiplied by the speed of light squared. This is important because it means that mass can be turned in to energy and energy can be turned in to mass. We also know that the speed of light squared will be a very large number because light travels so quickly. This means that there is a very large amount of energy stored in all matter, even the smallest pieces.
