The Importance of Albert Einstein

I'd like to start with Albert Einstein. I know of only one thing that Einstein got right and that is his famous formula E equals MC squared. This formula has nothing to do with relativity theory and was actually in the literature in the journals long before Einstein was born. But it is a correct formula and Einstein did derive it from his 1905 paper. It existed before that you're saying? Yes, it is it is not a formula which depends upon Einsteinian relativity. Most people don't seem to know that. They think that E equalsMC squared is a consequence of Einstein's theory. It is not.
