E=mc2 and Smarter Energy  a World Without Einstein Series What does the most famous equation in science really mean? And, how can it lead us to clean, cheap, abundant energy that wouldn't damage our environment? And to cleaner energy. Click here for Broadcast After you have enjoyed the broadcast, get the book! All of the information presented here, and more, can be found in World without Einstein Image #1 Converting mass into energy is like converting dollars into yen Image #2 Aprocryphal image of Einstein discovering his famous equation   Image #3 Options for supplying energy showing tons of fuel that would be required by U.S. annually Image #4 Atoms have two parts: an inside (nucleus,with almost all the energy) and an outside (electron cloud).   Image #5 Chemical reactions are grossly inefficient because the nuclei are unchanged. Image #6 Two very different ways of getting much more energy: make the nucleus smaller (fission) or make it larger (fusion).   Image #7 Our Sun. White dot shows size of Earth. Fusion powers all stars. Image #8 Near-term energy sources compared for cost and carbon emission (red line is where climatologists worry).
