100 years ago today - Einstein's Famous E=mc² at 100!

[Analog]

September 27 marks the centennial of the most famous equation in the world: E=mc². On this day in 1905, Albert Einstein submitted the paper that laid out the formula. We hear archive tape, and physicist John Rigden, author of Einstein 1905: The Standard of Greatness, explains the seminal formula.
