E=MC2 & The New Definition of God

Book Synopsis: I fell in love with Albert Einstein when I was researching his life and his speeches for my book "Words That Shook The World: 100 Years of Unforgettable Speeches and Events". And his iconic formula, E=MC² kept running through my mind. I even put a little sticker of it on the dashboard of my car and had this unmistakable feeling that there was something more to it, even more than what had already made it the most famous and perhaps most important equation in history.

And in this little children's book, which is really not just for our new generation but for a new generation of thought about religion and spirituality, there might actually be found the fulfillment of Dr. Einstein's greatest quest. Albert Einstein, publicly dedicated his life's work to finding "A Unified Field Theory" or, "A Theory of Everything". In other words, Einstein wanted to be able to identify how everything was related to everything else in physics and with all of the forces of the Universe.

I am not a scientist and, frankly, did everything I could to stay way from math and physics courses in high school and college. But now I am completely fascinated by science and believe that what is presented in this simple book is, in some ways, exactly what my hero, Dr. Einstein, was looking for. It presents an interpretation of his own work that perhaps he didn't reflect on but which can fairly answer two critical questions: "How is everything united?" or "How do we describe or understand the uniting force in the Universe?" and an even more important unification... "How can we human beings unite our species when different religions pull us so far apart and, as such, actually threaten the the survival of our species?"

We need more than a unified field theory for physicists. We need a unified theory uniting all peoples and religions... a "theory of everything" at least in one sense, that can become a foundation that is as deep and as profound as the most powerful religious dogma. The scientific "New Definition of God, if properly understood, can do that.

E=MC² is our shared bond. The God-Force" that it describes is equally inside the cells and atoms of our Muslim brothers and sisters as it is our Christian, Jewish and all others. And it it also inside, in exactly the same way, each and every one of our animal friends an plant and mineral cohabitants in the Universe that came from, and still exists as, the Energy that Einstein's formula so elegantly and simply describes. A gram of your body and a gram of your fiercest enemy's body share EXACTLY the same quantity and nature of God-Force energy. No religion or philosophy or national borders can ever change that. The energy energy described and exactly defined by E=MC² is the thing that UNIFIES all humanity and, far beyond that, all matter in the Universe! I choose to call that energy, that force, "God." So, let's explore the science with our children. Let's "do the math", transcend the differences of our different philosophies and beliefs and unify around this magnificent formula that celebrates that thing that unifies all things... the energy that is all things. Dr. Einstein would want that.
