Over 100 years ago, Albert Einstein grappled with the implications of his
revolutionary special theory of relativity and came to a startling conclusion:
mass and energy are one, related by the formula E = mc2. In "Einstein's Big
Idea," NOVA dramatizes the remarkable story behind this equation. E = mc2 was
just one of several extraordinary breakthroughs that Einstein made in 1905,
including the completion of his special theory of relativity, his identification
of proof that atoms exist, and his explanation of the nature of light, which
would win him the Nobel Prize in Physics. Among Einstein's ideas, E = mc2 is by
far the most famous. Yet how many people know what it really means? In a
thought-provoking and engrossing docudrama, NOVA illuminates this deceptively
simple formula by unraveling the story of how it came to be.
