If you hang around with physics people long enough, some­one eventually will bring up Maxwell's equations. Maybe as part of a joke, or on a T-shirt or a tattoo. But they'll be somewhere. So even if ...

Albert Einstein’s simple yet powerful equation revolutionized physics by connecting the mass of an object with its energy for the first time. It is perhaps the most famous equation in the world, and ...
