Companion website to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Nova program about "the story behind the world's most famous equation": energy equals mass times the speed of light squared (E = mc²). The site features an essay explaining this 1905 equation that "says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable," information about scientists whose experiments paved the way for Albert Einstein, an audio clip of Einstein explaining the equation, links to related sites, materials for library activities, and much more. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/ Topics: Physics Last updated Oct 13, 2005 Gravity Probe B: Testing Einstein's Universe
Was Einstein's theory of general relativity correct? Gravity Probe B, a relativity gyroscope experiment co-developed by NASA and Stanford University scientists, will attempt to answer that question. This site includes detailed information about the project, lithographs, a timeline, a FAQ, scientific papers, an image library, a glossary, classroom materials, and related information. http://einstein.stanford.edu/ Topics: Geography, Physics, Ready Reference & Quick Facts, Science, Science, Technology, Transportation Last updated Apr 19, 2004 |
