E=MC² Marks 100 Years

It seems so simple: three letters standing for energy, mass, and the speed of light, brought together with the tightness of a soundbite.
Yet what it encapsulates is still hard for scientists to grasp. Einstein showed in a handful of lines that as you accelerate an object, it not only gets faster, it also gets heavier.
Are we seeing any such revolutionary scientists who brainstorm fundamentals like he did, these days? Technology is leaping forward and we are so much further than anyone would have even dreamt of 60 years back, but we do lack Einstein kind of father figures in these days..dont we?

Lets celebrate the centurieth birthday of the very equation that shaped every man's destiny!
