The docudrama explores the scientific discoveries that led to Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc2, including Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic fields, Lavoisier's finding that mass is never lost, and du Chatelet's demonstration of Newton's calculation error. It also covers Einstein's 1905 papers that revolutionized science and Lise Meitner's work on uranium, which led to the conclusion that splitting an atom would release massive energy.
Einstein's Big Idea
Albert Einstein's E=mc2 equation was made possible by groundbreaking scientific discoveries, which had a profound impact on the development of nuclear energy.
