Mariah Carey Not Good for Science

We thought that everyone knew the act of singing a pop song wasn't rocket science, but a group of British eggheads apparently didn't get that memo -- and have gone all apoplectic over the album Mariah Carey released recently. The members of Sense About Science have belatedly begun complaining about the title of 'E = MC2,' not so much because Albert Einstein hasn't gotten his fair share of royalties, but because the singer has been messing with the minds of impressionable children with her explanation of its meaning.

In contrast to good ol' Uncle Al, who spent eons coming up with the theory of relativity -- summarized as energy times the speed of light squared -- the diva claimed her equation to signify "emancipation equals Mariah Carey times two." We haven't witnessed this sort of ruckus since the world's mathematicians went on a rampage over the "one, two, three, fourteen" in U2's 'Vertigo.'
