E = mc2 ist die berühmteste Formel der Welt. Mit ihr brachte Einstein es auf den Punkt: Energie und Masse sind zwei Seiten derselben Medaille und die Lichtgeschwindigkeit c ist ihr Wechselkurs. Doch warum besteht dieses so einfache Verhältnis? Wie ist Albert Einstein zu diesem Schluss gekommen? Und welche Folgen für das Verständnis des Universums ergeben sich daraus? Brian Cox, Professor für Physik und in England durch seine Sendungen auf BBC sehr bekannt, hat sich zusammen mit seinem Kollegen Jeff Forshaw, Professor für theoretische Physik, die scheinbar einfache Einstein-Gleichung vorgenommen, um sie mit viel Energie ausführlich und verständlich zu erklären.

"El libro de la serie de televisión de la BBC que muestra el Sistema Solar que nos rodea como nunca antes lo habíamos contemplado: desde los descomunales surtidores de hielo de Encélado hasta los mares de metano líquido de Titán, o desde tormentas que duplican el tamaño de la Tierra hasta la vapuleada luna Ío con sus supervo lcanes gigantescos. Un viaje de expedición donde otros mundos se convierten en lugares que podemos ver, sentir o visitar: planetas y satélites alejadosde nuestro mundo en los que encontraremos los fenómenos naturales más colosales, más insólitos y más poderosos. Una visita a algunos de los entornos más espectaculares y extremos de la Tierra que nos muestra las maravillas del Sistema Solar que aloja nuestro planeta. La claridad, el rigor y el pragmatismo característicos del autor le sirven para ahondar en el hecho de que esos fenómenos, no observados con anterioridad, han ampliado enormemente nuestros horizontes con los descubrimientos sobre los planetas, sus satélites y cómo llegaron a ser como son. "La visión romántica y lírica que ofrece Cox de la astrofísica se funde con una experiencia que no se percibe como un trabajo preparado, sino más bien como la narración de un relato. Y de un relato interesante, además"."--[Guardian].
