E=MC2What is E=mc^2?E=MC2, also known as mass-energy equivalence, is a famous equation in scientific corridors . Most people know that Albert Einstein discovered this equation in 1905. However, after that, they don't know anything. All they know is that this equation equals energy (E) mass (M) times the speed of light (C) squared (Forshaw and Smith 12). What is so significant about this equation and why is it so famous? The fact that This equation is famous, but most people don't know what it means, makes one wonder where its fame lies. A suitable answer to this question lies in the many applications of this equation in nature. Most of these people encounter these applications in real life and associate them with Einstein. It's no wonder that mass-energy equivalence is famous, but most people don't have details about it. How did Einstein arrive at this equation? Much has been said about how Einstein discovered this famous equation. For example, some scientists claim that Einstein invented everything. He did it without scientific reasoning, without evidence or proof. He woke up one morning and said, “It has to be this way.” In 1905, he published it in a three-page article entitled “Does the inertia of a body depend on its energy content? obscure scientific journal. The fact that this article was not accompanied by any references shook the scientific community (Forshaw and Smith 10). While the above explanation may be true, it leaves readers with many equations. For example, what motivated Einstein to come up with this equation? A more elaborate explanation is that Einstein derived this equation in an attempt to reconcile the principle of conservation of momentum and energy with James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetics...... middle of paper ... ...ravel also relies on this radiation-derived power. Photons from the sun and other stars hold the energy that propels the spacecraft through a vacuum (Tyson 1). The most recent application of this equation concerns the detection of Cherenkov radiation. Scientists are looking to sink a giant neutrino detector deep into the ice to detect the strange blue light emitted by neutrinos. This will help the cosmologist better understand neutrinos and other objects descending from space. The use of E=mc2 is simply irresistible in this process (Tyson 1). The use of E=mc2 shows no signs of decreasing in the near future. Its use on the scientific and sociological fronts is not unexploited. As scientists continue to face several challenges, they will continue to rely on existing theories to find the solution to these challenges...
