| Albert Einstein's work has enormously (1) our understanding of the |
BROAD |
| universe and has had a (2) impact on all our lives. Thanks to his equation E=mc2, we now know that energy and mass (or matter) are directly related to each other. To |
CONSIDER |
| a very great (3) , it is Einstein who is responsible for our now knowing that |
EXTEND |
| space and time are actually one thing: space-time. (4) , without E=mc2, we would not have nuclear power - and nuclear weapons - today. Einstein did not become famous because of E=mc2, which was first published in 1905. At the |
ADD |
| time, his paper was (5) ignored, even by most scientists. Indeed, it was 14 years later that Einstein first made headlines round the world, when scientific evidence |
LARGE |
| began to show that his Theory of General Relativity, which was an (6) of his 1905 paper, was correct. |
EXTEND |
| The idea that only a tiny (7) of scientists can understand Einstein's theories comes from this media reporting. The New York Times asked its golfing correspondent to cover |
MINOR |
| the story. As he was clearly out of his (8) , he presumed that everyone else was too. A myth was born. |
DEEP |
| Space, time, energy and mass are (9) subjects - no pun intended - to
get to grips with, but Einstein's ideas are not impossible to understand by any means. The |

| implications of Einstein's work for our lives, however, may well be (10) . |
