Word 10
15th May 2010, 1pm, King's College Centre, University of Aberdeen

An Interview with Jeff Forshaw, presented by dot.rural’s Dr Claire Thorne.

Why does E=mc2? What is the Theory of Relativity? And why does it matter to the rest of us? In his new groundbreaking book with Brian Cox, Jeff Forshaw tackles the meaning of one of science’s most famous equations. In this event, he talks us through the relationships between Einstein’s theory and how it relates to the world around us.

Tickets: £5 (£3 UoA staff members).
