because sound travels in waves
just like light.

:22:03
-I'm not going too fast for you, am I?
-No. Light travels as particles.

:22:07
Light travels as particles and waves.
:22:12
How can light travel simultaneously
in two different ways?

:22:18
Space tells matter how to move...
:22:20
and matter tells space how to curve.
:22:24
Mademoiselle, you must be
a student of the sciences.

:22:28
Yes. I am to study
at the Sydney University.

:22:31
Fascinating. You got a scholarship?
:22:33
Not exactly. I won a prize.
:22:35
The old high school science prize?
:22:37
It was a Nobel Prize,
1903, Applied Physics.

:22:41
-Really?
-You see...

:22:42
I think that
if we could control the ionizing radiation...

:22:46
of the spontaneous disintegration
of uranium isotopes...

:22:51
we could harness the forces of nature.
:22:54
Splitting atoms.
:22:56
You've heard of the theory
to split the nucleus of an atom?

:22:59
I've split one once.
:23:01
You've already split the atom?
:23:05
It was only a Tasmanian beer atom.
:23:08
What?
:23:10
That one atom was enough
to blow the old man's shed apart.

:23:14
Really.
:23:16
Atomic power.
:23:20
You must tell me more
about your research...

:23:22
but first, let me introduce myself.
:23:25
My name is Marie. Marie Curie.
:23:30
Albert. Albert Einstein.
:23:33
Do you realize this is a first-class carriage?
:23:37
Conductor, there's a bushman
in my carriage.

:23:41
-So?
-You see, I worked out that...

:23:45
energy equals mass times
the square of the speed of light.
