For the record, the full equation.
E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pv)^2
Which, coincidently, is also a Pythagorean equation.
On the gravity suit: it is not OP by any stretch of the imagination. Even sans-gregtech it's a massive pain to make and obnoxious to maintain its power. Most people need never even make one; it's actually very specialized in use.
Right. EE2 was never a fair design for a mixed mod game. That's the end of it.[DOUBLEPOST=1361825489][/DOUBLEPOST]

The ironies of the Pythagorean equation:
- It is fundamental to the universe and show up everywhere yet...
- It is actually incorrect for most of the math it was invented to handle.
I bet you if you walk up to a stranger and say, "A^2 + B^2" they will complete your sentence upon prompting. Say, "mc^2 = " and I bet your hit rate will be slower. It's not the 1980s anymore, Einstein's celebrity is sadly waning.
That's because A, B, C not because they have any idea about an equation.
"Have you heard of the pythagorean theorem?"
"Have you heard of E=mc^2?"
Granted, one is the equation itself and one is the name - but that is how someone without interest will know both of them legitimately. If you ask them A + B = ? They will say C as well usually. They have no idea what they are saying they are just using their common sense and applying their alphabet where there appears to be letters.
Just because someone has been through school doesn't mean they will remember it either. It's a safe guess that 80%+ of the people who have heard of E=mc^2 couldn't even explain what the equation stands for, never mind what it means. More people will understand the pythagorean theorem since it is a fairly basic math concept.

Got it slightly wrong. I put an equals in the middle instead of a + That's what happens when you play games at the same time and don't check it before postingthat's the one
tr 'ABC' 'XYZ' and I bet they can still finish it and even say it pertains to triangles. The Pythagorean theorem is beyond famous; it's ubiquitous and ingrained.
