Er, wait a minuteF=MA
and
E=MC2
is the same thing since acceleration = velocity squared.
(with all due respect) Is it buggery. Acceleration is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time. And energy is not the same thing as force.
That said, Einstein's theory of special relativity can pretty much be worked out by using Newtonian dynamics, a bit of algebra, and the clever bit, which is the assumption that the velocity of light in vacuo is constant in any inertial reference frame.
