100th Anniversary of E=mc^2

Starker_Kull writes "E=mc^2 was published as part of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity 100 years ago today." From the article: "In 1905, it was final proof of the genius and imagination of a young German-born scientist who had yet to land a university post. It seems so simple: three letters standing for energy, mass, and the speed of light, brought together with the tightness of a soundbite."

100 years old?

You'd think they'd have improved on it by now. Something along the lines of E=mc^3, or something like that.

Maybe, just maybe,
