To this day I can't believe anyone else hasn't noticed this
It happened years ago during an o'level physics lesson when the teacher was explaining that acceleration is rate of change of velocity so
a = v^2

At that point I had a flash of inspiration.

if f = ma then E=MC^2 is the same equation!!

That Einstein bloke discovered nothing he just nicked it off Newton and put it in capitals
.

Hmmm.
I guess you failed that part of Physics;
a != v^2
a = dv/dt

Well, no...
Because force and energy aren't the same thing are they?

Part of the beauty of special relativity was proving that they have an equivalence.

And, in any case, acceleration is a derivative of velocity with respect to time dv/dt.

Oh yeah
it's metres per second ^2 isn't it?

Guess I'll just file the Nobel prize acceptance speech for the time being then.

More than what the others have said
Part of the beauty of what Einstein said was the C bit. The equivalency isn't linked by any random constant like e or pi, but by the speed of light.

I still say he nicked it
- probably off the wife.
