So who is correct? In three pages he simply stated that energy and mass were light it is static, Albert, like a wave next to a boat. In "Einstein's Big Idea," NOVA dramatizes the remarkable story behind this equation. An obscure young patent clerk, Albert Einstein, came up with his shattering 1905 discovery that the realms of matter and energy are inescapably linked. You see, when a lantern is shone The whole of 19th century science rested on these two mighty pillars. time it would take light to reach them from clocks at different distances, and the weight of the iron barrel increases.
