It is the most easily remembered part of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which disproved the gravitational works of Issac Newton.
A re-writing of Einsteins famous equation is E = mc2 Wherre E is energy, m is mass, c is the speed of light (so c2 is the square of the speed of light)
Experiments carried out so far confirm the formula.
It relates the energy of a particle to it's mass. So, if you were to convert 1kg of material into pure energy, the energy you would get out would be calculated using E = mc2.However, this is just the simplified version for a particle that isn't moving. If the particle is moving with a momentum p, then the full formula is used: E2 = p2c2 + m2c4.
1905 was when the paper about it was published. So he probably discovered it a few years earlier? There doesn't seem to be an exact date or anything.
The 2 stands for squared . So in all the formula is : Energy equals the mass times the constant (Speed of light) squared. The 2 squares the formula.

e=mc2 is how to make bubbles in beer it even says so in the movie'young Einstein'
Because he invented a spanner. N=mc2
e=mc2 is a theory proven by ainstien just before he died so noone else knows it, it explains that energy is equal to the speed of light when it is in a vacume.

E means energy content m means mass c means spead of light so e = mc2 mean energy content equals mass into speed of light squared
C equals the speed of light in a vacuum (light travelling no substance what so ever). Which is about 299 792 458 m / s. Because of this formula C=√(E/m)

e=mc2 is a constant. so you can use it in a variety of equations without having to do all the math up to that point. basically it helps us measure astronomical numbers. -- (see: avigadro's number for a similar constant with a similar kind of use.) e=mc2 means this: energy is the same as mass multiplied by the speed of light times the speed of light. this would be a huge number - so it's shortened by saying e=mc2. it's a nickname!!
