2. There was once a little boy named Albert.
3. He was the smartest boy in the whole world.
4. One day, Albert was working on a very important formula, but he
just could not figure it out, so he decided to find something to
eat.
5. While he was looking around the house for something to eat, he
decided that he wanted to make a banana split.
6. But he did not have anythingin his refrigerator to make a banana
split with. So he decided to call some of his friends to bring some
ingredients.
7. The first person he called was his friend Michael Faraday.
8. When Albert told Michael about how he wanted to make a banana
split, Michael told him that he would bring over some
bananas.
9. When Michael brought over the bananas, Michael told Albert that
the bananas that he brought were full of energy, and that with this
fact he could prove a connection between magnetism and
electricity.
10. Albert found that very interesting so he wrote down an E on his
formula sheet and called it energy.
E=energy
11. The next person Albert called was his friend Lavoisier.
12. Lavoisier decided to bring some whipped cream that he said
would never lose its amount of mass even if you melt it to a pulp,
the mass of the cream never changed.
13. Albert also found that interesting so he wrote an M next to the
E on the paper and called the M mass.
M=mass
14. While trying to start the split they realized that they did not
have one thing that could connect the bananas to the whipped cream
or the energy to the mass.
15. So they decided to call Ole Roemer.
16. Roemer told them that he would bring the ice creamthat could
connect all of the whipped cream to all of the bananas in the
entire universe.
17. When Roemer brought the ice cream, Albert saw how it connected
the other ingredients he wrote a C on the paper to represent speed
of light.
C=Speed of light
18. As the group of friends got ready to dive into the split, they
noticed that there were not any sprinkles or cherries on top.
19. So they called their other two friends Emilie Du Chatalet, who
brought the cherries and Robert Recorde who brought the
sprinkles.
20. Seeing how the sprinkles showed how the banana split was
interchangeable, Albert wrote an equal sign in between the E and
the M.
E = M
21. Albert also saw how the cherries was the finishing touch that
increased the entire taste of the whole banana split so he wrote an
exponent of 2 above the C and called it squared.
C 2
22. After Albert and his friends finished their banana split, they
looked at the paper that Albert had wrote on.
23. They saw a formula that read E=mc2, when they read it they
realized that the formula that Albert made from their banana split
ingredients made a formula that would change the world.
E=MC2
24. Years after Alberts incredible formula was invented many
physicists began to study it and use it for different
purposes.
25. One of those people was the physicist Lise Meitner.
26. Meitner studied radioactivity and nuclear physics.
27. Lisa Meitner is famous for the discovery of nuclear
fission.
28. Meitner was able to achieve the discovery of nuclear fission by
using the formula that Einstein came up with.
E=MC2
29. E=MC2
Not only are physicists taking advantage of Einsteins
formula.
30. But hospitals are using the formula too.
31. They use the formula for many different technological
inventions.
32. Like PET scans.
33. PET scans use a radioactive substance that illuminates the
body.
34. This allows the doctors to look at an x-ray type picture of
your body.
35. To find out if something does not look right on the
inside.
36. Another study is kinesthetics.
37. Which is the study of motion.
38. Even though Einsteins formula only involves mass at rest,
people who study kinethetics saw that the formula also took into
account the mass as it is in motion.
39. Einsteins formula also helps us understand how light
works.
40. Along with energy and mass.
