Did you know that the most famous equation in the entirety of physics, is actually completely wrong? A recent video uploaded to youtube by the physics professors at the university of Nottingham explains in full detail.

Watch it. Now.
Okay, so maybe you won't find it too interesting if you're not a complete physics nerd such as myself, but this equation is important to your very existence, wheather you realize it or not. It's like the guy says, it explains why mass disappears when atoms bond together.
So, what really baffles me is how it got mistranslated to the public. Is the actual equation, E^2=m^2c^4 (assuming momentum = 0) really any different? Is it really SO less catchy that it has no place in the life of the average person? Of course not, but the average person somehow got lazy anyway.
Completely pointless bit of science trivia for you there, but it's time the world knew the truth!
E=mc^2, is a LIE!!!
