E = mc^2, equation in Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the equivalence of mass and energy.

Google “E=mc2 is wrong” and you get 1,060 hits. Google “E=mc2 is correct” and you get a mere 138 hits. There you have it. It took us a more than a century, but finally this crazy inconsistent theory of relativity got outvoted. Common sense cries victory! Fortunately, science does not work that way.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is an open admirer of memes. He frequently shares visual jokes on Twitter, where he has more than 129 million followers. This time, the Tesla chief shared a hilarious meme on Albert Einstein's famous equation, E=MC2.

E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. In the equation, the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body times the speed of light squared (c2) is equal to the kinetic energy (E) of that body. In physical theories prior to that of special relativity, mass and energy were viewed as distinct entities. Furthermore, the energy of a body at re...
