📝 Quick summary of key information

Can we find energy in something very small?

Atomic energy is a type of energy made from atoms. Atoms are tiny parts that make up everything around us. Imagine each atom is like a little factory that can release lots of energy.

In nuclear power plants, atoms are used to make electricity. These power plants work a bit like big, giant kettles that heat water to make steam. This steam turns turbines that make electricity.

Atomic energy has benefits, like making electricity without greenhouse gases. But it also has risks, like handling radioactive waste. That's why it's important to control and monitor nuclear power plants carefully.

Atomic energy is used every day to power our homes, schools, and even our electronic devices. But it's not the only small source of energy. Batteries and solar cells are also examples of small energy sources that help us every day.

The Secret of Hidden Energy

Can we find energy in something very small?

The Magic of Hidden Energy

After racing with the light beam in the Relativity(1) Vehicle, where they discovered that light is always faster than them, even when they run after it, Léo and Léa find themselves in the Hidden Energy Tunnel. Guided by a friendly white dog, they are ready to explore new scientific mysteries. The walls of the tunnel shine with a thousand colors. Léo and Léa walk forward, eyes wide open, amazed(2) by the colorful lights dancing on the walls.

Léo, amazed, says:
« Look, Léa, it's magical here! »

Léa, amazed, says:
« Yes, it's amazing! »

Albert Einstein, with a big smile, speaks to them:
« Hello, Léo and Léa! You are in the Hidden Energy Tunnel. »

Léo, curious about the colorful lights, then asks:
« What is hidden energy, Albert Einstein? »

Albert Einstein, with a mischievous smile, comes closer and says:
« Look at this drop of water. It is very small, but it contains a lot of energy. »

Léa, curious, asks:
« How do you see it? »

Albert Einstein, with a big smile, is about to say:
« Watch carefully. Now, I am going to transform it. »

Albert Einstein makes a gesture. The drop of water becomes a bright(3) light. Léo and Léa are amazed. They understand that this hidden energy is all around them. To move forward in their mission towards the Relativity Map, they must find this hidden energy in other objects. They receive a golden spark, symbol of the hidden energy, to move forward in their mission towards the Relativity Map.

Energy in Nature

After receiving the golden spark, Léo and Léa start exploring the tunnel with excitement. They find pebbles, leaves, and even a tiny flower.

Léa, amazed, says:
« Look, Léo, this little flower. It is so pretty. »

Léo, eyes sparkling, exclaims:
« Yes, but it contains energy. It's amazing! »

Albert Einstein, with a big smile, explains: « That's right, Léo. Every object has energy. It can be released(4) in certain situations. »

Léo, eyes shining with curiosity, asks:
« Like in the sun or the stars? »

Albert Einstein, with a big smile, says: « Yes, Léo. Energy can be released in the sun or the stars. The formula E=mc² shows that energy is equal to mass(5) times the speed of light squared. »

After receiving the golden spark, Léo and Léa head towards a new landscape. They discover The Forest of Curved Paths, where gravity(6) seems to bend the trails. Following a winding(7) path that changes direction around a giant rock, they meet deer that jump easily on the curved paths. Léo and Léa are eager to find out what gravity has to teach them. They know that each discovery brings them closer to understanding the mysteries of the universe.
