This volume encompasses eight chapters from my personal study notes which cover all courses and notes in my study of Nuclear Engineering, from high school throughout my post-doctorate associateship. Great emphasis is added on the two theories of relativity where the author posed many critical questions regarding the optical definition of relative simultaneity which Einstein used to equate matter with energy through the relation E = mc .
