Exactly 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.
The Northfield Public Library is one of 20 libraries nationwide that recieved a grant from WGBH/NOVA to creativley explore and celebrate Einstein's Big Idea! Watching this broadcast premire will introduce you to all the events that led up to E=mc2. We are excited to be part of this special event.
