Breaking the light barrier.

When Albert Einstein first predicted that light travels the same speed everywhere in our Universe, he essentially stamped a speed limit on it: 299,792 kilometres per second (186,282 miles per second) - fast enough to circle the entire Earth eight times every second.
But that's not the whole story. In fact, it's just the beginning.
Before Einstein, mass - the atoms that make up you, me, and everything we see - and energy were treated as separate entities.
But in 1905, Einstein forever changed the way physicists view the Universe.
Einstein's special theory of relativity permanently tied mass and energy together in the simple yet fundamental equation E = mc2.
