E=mc²

E=mc² is a physical equation, first given by Albert Einstein in his 1905 paper "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?" ("Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig?", published in Annalen der Physik on September 27), one of the articles now known as his Annus Mirabilis Papers. The equation defines a relationship between energy and mass (sometimes referred to as matter, but those are only equal at low object speeds). It is one of the best-known equations of all time — even those who may not explicitly know what it means may have some idea of its meaning through culture.
