Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Science and Technology: In a nuclear reaction mass is lost and energy appears. The equation E = MC^2 (E equals M times C squared) gives the relationship between the mass lost and the energy created. Who proposed this formula?"
...1. Isaac Newton 2. Albert Einstein 3. Aristotle 4. Galileo This is possibly one of the most famous formulas in history and is frequently referenced in pop culture. Strictly, Einstein's equation states that mass and energy are two forms of the same thing, so technically mass is converted to another form rather than lost. E stands for energy, M for mass and C for the speed of light in a vacuum.
