E=MC2, the strange meaning of this equation in Einstein's special theory of relativity #Einstein ...

On June 30, 1905, Einstein published his paper on special relativity. It's a monumental paper that will be remembered for a long time in human history. This paper contains the equation E=MC2 (MC square), one of the most famous equations in the world. But what does it really mean? Let me briefly add something not included in the video. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions involve a loss of mass at the atomic level. According to Einstein's equation, this releases energy equal to the mass lost multiplied by the speed of light squared. Nuclear fission splits the nucleus of heavy elements like uranium (atomic number 92) or plutonium (atomic number 94) by bombarding them with neutrons. This process doesn't just release energy; it also produces radioactive isotopes like cesium, which are highly lethal to the human body. On the other hand, nuclear fusion uses the lightest element, hydrogen. This process involves fusing hydrogen atoms into deuterium or tritium, which are then fused back into helium atoms. This process is considered safer than nuclear fission because it doesn't produce radioactive isotopes, which are problematic in nuclear fission reactions. However, it requires extremely high temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius and a vessel capable of withstanding such temperatures, making it an extremely challenging technology. #Einstein #MC Square #Energy #Special Relativity #Nuclear Fission #Nuclear Fusion #Mass For more information on Cody Jeong's identity, visit http://www.codyjeong.com For those who prefer more text than video, visit "Cody Jeong's Otherworldly Knowledge" on Brunch and Naver Band.
