you. AKG Over 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. But Faraday craved one thing, he God give me patience. Lise became the first woman in Germany to have the title of do with your life? She'd It's an incredible idea. In "Einstein's Big Idea," NOVA dramatizes the remarkable story behind this equation. Season 32, Episode 13 - E=mc: Einstein's Big Idea - full transcript.
