100 years on Tuesday

A bit of useless infor for you all, did you know that Einsteins most famous equation E=mc2, turned 100 on Tuesday? Who on earth celebrates an equation? Good thing you asked, its the UN of all people!
Im sure we've all heard this equation, but I'd like to think that not all of us know exactly what it means. Well here's a summary:
In the equation, 'E' stands for Energy, 'm' stands for mass, and 'c' stands for the speed of light. The equation shows that matter and energy are, essentially, two aspects of the same thing, and that a small amount of matter can be converted into an enormous amount of energy. Nuclear reactions, including fusion in the sun and in nuclear weapons, are examples of large amounts of energy released from the conversion of comparatively small quantities of mass.

Yeah, like that made any sense.
He just looks like a genius... a sad genius
