Say, do you like mystery stories?
-
Well we have one for you..
-
The concept: relativity.
-
That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.
-
Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.
-
Why do the stars shine?
-
Why does the galaxy light up?
-
E equals MC squared
-
That is the engine that lights up the stars!
-
Energy turns into mass
-
E equals MC squared -
-
That is the secret of the stars
-
Now listen carefully:
-
The faster you move, the heavier you get
-
The energy of motion turns into M, your mass
-
Energy of motion
-
Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared
-
An awful lot of energy
For a tiny amount of mass
-
Light travels at the same speed
No matter how you look at it
-
No matter how I move, relative to you
-
Light travels at the same speed
-
No matter who is doing the measurement
And no matter what direction you are moving
-
The speed of light is the same
-
No matter what direction, or how fast
-
As you travel faster
Time slows down
-
Everything slows down
-
Time slows down when you move
-
Time passes at a different rate
-
Clocks run slow
-
It's a monumental shift in how we see the world
-
The beauty, the majesty
-
The power of the universe
Into a single equation
-
E equals MC squared
-
That is the engine that lights up the stars!
-
Energy turns into mass
-
E equals MC squared
-
That is the secret of the stars
-
It's a beautiful piece of science
-
It's a beautifuly elegant theory
-
It's a beautiful piece of science
-
A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit
Because it follows curves
-
In the spatial fabric caused
By the sun's presence
-
Space and time are bent by stars and planets
-
As things move through this curved space, they bend
-
Now all of this is illustration of the fact
that time and space are linked together.
-
As you're moving through bent and curved space and time,
-
You feel like you feel a force
-
As you're moving through bent and curved space and time
-
You feel like you feel a force
-
That force is gravity
-
The beauty, the majesty,
-
The power of the universe
Into a single equation
-
E equals MC squared
-
That is the engine that lights up the stars!
-
Energy turns into mass
-
E equals MC squared
-
That is the secret of the stars
-
That is the secret of the stars
