Historic Footage Shows Albert Einstein Explaining The Theory Of Relativity In His Own Words

Although we might listen to many different experts talk about the theory of relativity, there is nothing quite like listening to Einstein explain it in his own words.

I think you would have a difficult time finding somebody who was not familiar with Albert Einstein. They might think about anything from his part in building the first atomic bomb all the way down to E = mc2.

It is his theory of relativity, however, that captures the imagination of many people, although most people don’t fully understand what is behind it.

If you break it down on its most simplified level, it is explaining how energy can be understood with a mathematical equation that is the mass of an object multiplied by the speed of light squared. The theory of relativity also explains how mass can be converted into energy and under the right circumstances, the opposite might even be true.

Although people who have a scientific background may appreciate the video for the science behind it, listening to Einstein and hearing his voice is going to be something that all of us appreciate. It really is a glimpse into the past and it can help you understand more about the man and the theory that helped to make him famous.
