Description
Everyone knows that 'The Simpsons' is probably the most successful show in television history. What you might not know is that it contains enough sophisticated mathematics to form a university course, and then some. In the first ever episode, baby Maggie is messing around with some building blocks, which she nonchalantly piles up into a stack that reads EMCSQU. She's cracked Einstein's famous formula, E=mc 2. You might not notice unless you're a bit nerdy, but it's a sign of things to come
