Einstein Centenary

In September 1905 was a small paper...an afterthought...almost a footnote...that would change world history.
A little known fact about Einstein's 1905 paper is that he didn't actually write E=mc²; he wrote the mathematically equivalent (though less euphonious) m=E/c², placing greater emphasis on creating "mass" from 'energy' (as in the joust) than on creating "energy" from 'mass' (as in nuclear weapons and power stations).
