The Formula in Einstein's Equation Charles William Johnson ©30
December 2010 Copyrighted The more one examines what has come to
be known as "Einstein's Formula", the more it appears that
Albert Einstein did not really create this specific formula, nor
did he actually subscribe to it. E = mc2 ...From the text, it
appears that Einstein has his own reservations about the now
famous formula, which through his own words seems to
disassociate himself from it. The quote in the cited text: "It
is customary to express the equivalence of mass and energy
(though somewhat inexactly) by the formula E=mc², in which c
represents the velocity of light, about 186,000 miles per
second. E is the energy that is contained in a stationary body;
m is its mass. The energy that belongs to the mass m is equal to
this mass, multiplied by the square of the enormous speed of
light - which is to say, a vast amount of energy for every unit
of mass."[Emphasis mine.] Obviously, then, unit 1.0 of the
equation specifies that mass may be the va
