Why Does E=mc²? by Brian Cox

5.0

Completely amazing in elucidating a point of physics that is at once dauntingly difficult and also horribly misunderstood and misused by a great many spiritualists. Cox, with his British wit and charm and frequent reminders of chalk-covered professors, brings without much math this most elegant and incredible of equations to life beginning with the simplest of notions and proceeding to rock the phenomenological world off its hinges. None of this is to say the book is simple, there are concepts here not for the faint of intellectual heart, but as a conceptualization, Cox brings both special and general relativity to a plane that is accessible and mind-expanding.
