  • Say, do you like mystery stories?

  • Well we have one for you..

  • The concept: relativity.

  • That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.

  • Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.

  • Why do the stars shine?

  • Why does the galaxy light up?

  • E equals MC squared

  • That is the engine that lights up the stars!

  • Energy turns into mass

  • E equals MC squared -

  • That is the secret of the stars

  • Now listen carefully:

  • The faster you move, the heavier you get

  • The energy of motion turns into M, your mass

  • Energy of motion

  • Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared

  • An awful lot of energy For a tiny amount of mass

  • Light travels at the same speed No matter how you look at it

  • No matter how I move, relative to you

  • Light travels at the same speed

  • No matter who is doing the measurement And no matter what direction you are moving

  • The speed of light is the same

  • No matter what direction, or how fast

  • As you travel faster Time slows down

  • Everything slows down

  • Time slows down when you move

  • Time passes at a different rate

  • Clocks run slow

  • It's a monumental shift in how we see the world

  • The beauty, the majesty

  • The power of the universe Into a single equation

  • E equals MC squared

  • That is the engine that lights up the stars!

  • Energy turns into mass

  • E equals MC squared

  • That is the secret of the stars

  • It's a beautiful piece of science

  • It's a beautifuly elegant theory

  • It's a beautiful piece of science

  • A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit Because it follows curves

  • In the spatial fabric caused By the sun's presence

  • Space and time are bent by stars and planets

  • As things move through this curved space, they bend

  • Now all of this is illustration of the fact that time and space are linked together.

  • As you're moving through bent and curved space and time,

  • You feel like you feel a force

  • As you're moving through bent and curved space and time

  • You feel like you feel a force

  • That force is gravity

  • The beauty, the majesty,

  • The power of the universe Into a single equation

  • E equals MC squared

  • That is the engine that lights up the stars!

  • Energy turns into mass

  • E equals MC squared

  • That is the secret of the stars

  • That is the secret of the stars
