We come to realize that the history of E=mc² is built upon layers of achievements by great masters. The atomic bomb race that embodied this equation, Heisenberg's Germany and the Manhattan Project, opposition and execution. Shouldn't we read this again, slowly and carefully?
I enjoyed reading it.
My high school freshman asked me to buy it, so I did.
I found it very interesting to read. I recommend it.
I bought it because it is a required reading book for the academy.
It's fun and helpful.
My child said they enjoyed reading it.
The content isn't easy, but since it's about formulas that you absolutely need to know, I'm reading it consistently.
I ordered this as a textbook for my child's academy. ^^ We enjoyed reading it.
Is it really good?
David Bodanis: E=mc²
The Life of the World's Most Famous Equation: *E=mc²*. E=mc² is the world's most famous and beautiful equation. How did this brief equation, which popped into the mind of a 26-year-old unknown scientist named Einstein in 1905—just as the 20th century began—come to shake the world? Instead of writing an explanatory guide to the theory of relativity or a biography of Einstein, science journalist David Bodanis tells a special story that follows the life of this equation. Originally published in the United States in 2000, translated and published in over 20 countries worldwide, and released in Korea in 2005, this book has become a classic of popular science literature, unanimously recommended by teachers around the globe over the past decade. For this newly reissued edition, physics specialist translator Kim Hee-bong has devoted his heart and soul to retranslating the text so that even those new to physics can easily understand the theoretical content. It is structured to allow readers to easily understand complex physics theories and grasp the flow of the history of science at a glance by tracing the origins of 'E (energy), = (equality sign), m (mass), c (speed of light), and ² (squared)' one by one like a mystery novel. It meticulously reconstructs the amazing scientific discoveries of numerous scientists, including Einstein, as well as their lives intertwined with passion, love, and revenge, while vividly depicting the tragedy of the atomic bombs during World War II. Furthermore, it adds interest by sharing fascinating scientific facts, such as the warmth of the sun and the deep darkness of black holes.
