What is, arguably, the best known equation? In math, it might be 2 + 2 = 4; in science, it is E = mc2, the famous relationship between matter and energy first derived by Albert Einstein. He used the equations of the special theory of relativity to prove this equation is true. We have an easier job than Albert Einstein did, because we can tap Louis de Broglie's elegant expressions of matter waves and energy particles - a firmament of modern quantum mechanics.
