Today Was The Day (March 20th) In 1916, Albert Einstein Published his Theory Of General Relativity
The world’s most famous equation is E = MC2 .This equation has been favorite among scientists worldwide,but do you know that it’s the most famous equation on Stamps as well.This article takes a look at the all-time famous equation on Indian stamps and stamps released worldwide on the topic.
E = MC2 equation states that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable. Energy and Matter are different forms of the same thing. Under suitable conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa. We humans don't see them that way—how can a beam of light and a Apple, say, be different forms of the same thing?—but Nature does.
When you convert part of an apple or any other part of matter to pure energy, the resultant energy produced is moving at the speed of light. Pure energy is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) —whether light or X-rays and the electromagnetic radiation travels at a constant speed of 300,000 km/sec (186,000 miles/sec).
The speed of light squared is the conversion factor that decides just how much energy lies within an apple or any other chunk of matter. And because the speed of light squared is a huge number—90,000,000,000 (km/sec)2.the amount of energy stored into even the smallest mass is very high.
If you could turn every one of the atoms in a paper clip into pure energy—leaving no mass whatsoever—the paper clip would yield 18 kilotons of TNT. That's roughly the size of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. On Earth, however, there is no practical way to convert a paper clip or any other object entirely to energy. It would require temperatures and pressures greater than those at the core of our sun.
The popular connection between Einstein, E = mc2, and the atomic bomb was prominently indicated on the cover of Time magazine in July 1946 by the writing of the equation on the mushroom cloud itself.The Indian stamp released on the occasion of the International year of physics places the equation on top of Trombay Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.
