Should have been done first. After all everyone knows him.

[FavScientist]

@rjhrjh3 do it first when we had no subscribers or back catalogue!?

at 5:44 I think it shout say (m0*c^2)^2 in the first part under the square root. Sorry too be nitpicking. Great video, as always.

[FavScientist]

@andersvj it was a deliberate mistake to give that childlike quality to the picture... well spotted! ;)

but seriously, there is a hidden coded message in the video that I'm waiting for someone to crack!!! you sound like a good candidate!

Thank you Einstein :)

@subh1 The Michelson / Morley experiment was 1887, 18 years is not 2 centuries. Also, what does light not slowing down through a non-existent aether have to do with the speed of light being constant for all observers?

i always thought Einstein didnt come up with e=mc^2, and he copied it from a mathematicien, i think his name is Poincaré

Crazy... He didn't even have a pet elk or a golden nose.

@kght222 to put it simply, plausible infinite challange

[kght222]

the beauty of science and scientists, is that we can know that einstien was not 100% correct, but still love him and his contribution. just as we love isaac newton even though we know that he was far from 100% correct. science strives to find the correct answers to the questions of existence, but all know that at best they are getting closer to the truth. it is what makes science so marvelous, the idea that you can aim at something your whole life, but the bullseye it unlikely to ever be hit.

I wonder if men like Einstein told us only what we were ready for.

Finally! I have been waiting for FavScientist to do this video on Einstein! Thank you so much! He is my favourite scientist!

@FavScientist Well at 6:09, 267/5 = 53.4 which is exactly the number of days that Franklin Story Musgrave has spent in orbit around the Earth. Making him one of our few real time-travelers as he is now about 1 millisecond younger than if he had stayed on earth, another is Sergei Avdeyev which is 1/15th of a second younger. Probably not it but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about that :)

@vtwinbreed That's only speculation...
