Two pages of the original manuscript of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity were put up on display Thursday afternoon in the Israel Pavilion of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.

Visiting Israeli Minister of Finance Yuval Steinitz announced the display of the pages at a ceremony marking the Jewish state's National Pavilion Day on Thursday.

The document represented the Jewish people's great achievements in science and innovations, Steinitz said.

The two pages, selected from a total of 46, contains Einstein's famous equation E=MC2 (squared) which describes the relationship between energy (E), mass (M) and the speed of light (C).

Einstein's wife Elsa donated the 46-page handwritten manuscript to the Hebrew University during its opening in 1925, four years after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.

Other exhibits displayed in the pavilion include a capsule containing a mini-camera that can be swallowed for internal medical checks before being discharged naturally, giving no pain to the patient.

During the ceremony, a set of commemorative stamps named "Israeli Innovations That Changed the World" was unveiled, featuring three Israeli innovations in the fields of agriculture, high technology and medicine.

With the theme of "Innovation for Better Life," the Israel Pavilion consists of three zones: the Whispering Garden, the Hall of Light and the Hall of Innovations.

以色列財(cái)政部部長(zhǎng)尤瓦爾·施泰尼茨6日在上海世博會(huì)以色列國(guó)家館日慶典儀式上正式宣布：愛(ài)因斯坦親手書寫的一份有關(guān)相對(duì)論的文稿，自當(dāng)日起正式在上海世博會(huì)以色列館展出。

施泰尼茨在世博中心中央大廳舉行的儀式上親自展示了這份珍貴手稿。他說(shuō)：“這份文本中包含愛(ài)因斯坦親手書寫的著名相對(duì)論公式：E=MC2（即E=MC的平方）。

施泰尼茨透露，此前這份手稿一直珍藏于希伯來(lái)大學(xué)，手稿來(lái)到上海世博會(huì)展出，得到了校方許可。他說(shuō)，愛(ài)因斯坦生前曾將自己的一批重要手稿捐贈(zèng)給希伯來(lái)大學(xué)，其中就包括這份文本。

他還說(shuō)，這是以色列第一次以自建館的形式參展世博會(huì)，對(duì)此以方感到非常高興。以色列人難忘上海人民在二戰(zhàn)期間搭救了逾3萬(wàn)猶太人，使之躲過(guò)劫難。
