Einsteins field equation explained



I just recieved an email from a blog reader asking me to explain this equation;





This equation is Einsteins field equation's and put simply it is explaining that the structure of geometry is deterimed by the distribution of energy (which is a really weird idea). And it also tells's us that gravity can serve as it's own energy source (as gravity is a type of energy form in itself).

This equation once you get your head around it is really simple, what first got me when I was trying to understand this equation was that gravity was it's own energy source, but don't let that fuck you up just as long as you approach Einsteins equations with an open mind you can wrap your head around them.

(My awesome art again)

So now you know both the meaning and the what the left hand and right hand side in the equation. Now if your a guy you can go and impress your girlfriend with your new knowledge of Einsteins field equation's because I hear chicks really dig that :)

Einsteins equation explained



The man himself



Einstens most famous equation proposed when he was about 25 I think? In 1905. Some people have been asking me to explain it on this blog so I decieded to explain it whilst taking advantage of my amazing art skils. Prepare to be amazed!


This is einsteins equation that I have taken the liberty to explain what each individual symbol means (and in case you didn't know the speed of light it's 3x10^8 m/s ;) In the most basic way I can explain this beautiful equation; it expresses how energy and mass are interchangeable.

See how simple that was :D

Well, Einstein did say if you can't explain it simply, you dont know it well enough.
