Mariah Carey recently released her 11th studio album entitled E=MC². The title means Emancipation (E) equals (=) Mariah Carey (MC) to the second power (2) and is a play on Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence formula. This album is the follow-up to her Grammy-winning disc in 2005, The Emancipation of Mimi. The first single from her latest album is Touch My Body. This song marks her 18th chart topper, surpassing Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard singles chart, and is now second only to the Beatles. The Fab Four from Liverpool have 20.
By the way, Einstein first derived his famous mass–energy equivalence formula in in 1905 in the paper "Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy-content?", one of his Annus Mirabilis ("Wonderful Year") Papers.
And for those who are wondering, the letter c used in Einstein’s equation, which is denotes the speed of light in vacuum, means celeritas. It was Wilhelm Eduard Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch who first used the letter c to indicate the speed of light. For them, c means constant. It was science fiction and popular science author Isaac Asimov who, in 1959, used c to mean celeritas, though he cited no evidence to support this.
