Simplest Explanation of E=mc^2
If one were to inquire about the most widely recognized scientific equation in the world, the unanimous response, without hesitation, would be E=mc^2. This equation, attributed to the brilliant mind of Albert Einstein, holds significant meaning. At its most fundamental level, it asserts that energy and mass possess interchangeable properties, representing distinct manifestations of the same entity. Contrary to popular belief, Einstein did not stumble upon this renowned equation in his later years; rather, he made this groundbreaking discovery at the tender age of 26. To illustrate the implications of this equation, consider the hypothetical scenario of converting every atom within a paper clip into pure energy, thereby eliminating any trace of mass. Astonishingly, this transformation would yield an explosive force equivalent to 18 kilotons of TNT, comparable in magnitude to the bomb that devastated Hiroshima in 1945. However, it is important to note that such a conversion is unattainable on Earth, as it necessitates temperatures and pressures surpassing those found at the core of our sun. Einstein, although credited as the sole progenitor of this scientific marvel, was not the sole contributor to its development. Rather, it is the culmination of a century-long history intertwined with the tireless efforts, intellect, and passion of numerous geniuses. It is this intricate tapestry that we shall now delve into, analyzing its intricacies.

How can SPACE and TIME be part of the SAME THING?
The existence of space-time is crucial for the manifestation of all known physics. Without it, there would be no platform for physical phenomena to occur. It can be likened to an artist who possesses a plethora of paint brushes in various shapes and sizes but lacks a canvas to paint on. In such a scenario, no masterpiece can be created. Similarly, without a stage, an actor is just an ordinary person. Therefore, it is imperative that physics has a place to unfold, and that place is space-time.

If Light has No Mass, Why is it Affected by Gravity?
What is gravity? Two renowned scientists conducted research on the workings of gravity, with Sir Isaac Newton being the foremost among them. Newton's explanation of gravity posits that all objects in the universe possess mass, and as such, there will always be an attraction between any two objects. This attraction is known as gravitational force, and it varies according to the mass of the object. An object with a greater mass will exert a stronger gravitational pull on a lighter object, and the force decreases as the distance between the two objects increases. This decrease in force is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects raised to the power of two. Newton's theory of gravity has been proven to be accurate, as evidenced by the Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moon's orbit around the Earth, and the workings of the universe as a whole. However, the question arises as to why the Earth does not collide with the Sun, given the latter's strong gravitational force. The answer lies in the relevant factors of distance and angular momentum. Despite this, scientists have been confounded by the nature of the force that binds objects separated by vast distances, such as the Sun and the Earth. This is where Albert Einstein's contributions to the field of physics come into play. As per Einstein’s assertions, gravity cannot be considered a force. However, this proposition appears to lack coherence as the occurrence of events cannot be accounted for in the absence of gravity. The enigmatic entity responsible for its manifestation remains unclear. Einstein's elucidation of gravity, although initially incomprehensible to the masses, was eventually comprehended a few years later. This revelation propelled him to the status of a prominent scientist on the global stage.

The 5 Core Concepts of Existence
There is no definitive definition of life. The distinction between living and non-living entities is not a straightforward matter. Although it may appear to be a simple inquiry, it is, in fact, a complex one. Various intricate responses are frequently found in sources such as Wikipedia or dictionaries. This is a fundamental query in the field of biology, and I aim to provide a resolution. My approach involves an examination of five prominent biological concepts.

Can We Travel To The PAST?
Time travel. This mysterious phenomenon has been the subject of numerous disputes and discussions for many years. Today there are many films, TV series, and books about time travel. But despite such a wide discussion of this topic, it still remains unclear whether time travel is possible in reality. Some believe that this is possible, others on the contrary believe that it is impossible to move in time and this is just an invention of Science Fiction. So let's figure out if humanity will ever be able to rewind time and look into other time epics.
