Let's derive the most equation in physics, E = mc^2, intuitively. This is Albert Einstein's original 1905 derivation. Here we will see exactly where the c^2 in the mass energy relation really comes from. We will do each part step by step. We will also derive the expression for the relativistic doppler effect.
