Singer Mariah Carey had been slammed by a scientist for her use on E=MC2 as an album title.

Carey used E=MC2 as meaning “emancipation equals Mariah Carey times two,” but wouldn’t you know it, that’s not what it stands for!

Mathematician Dr David Leslie told the BBC the singer had “misread the algebra”, adding: “The ‘two’ in the equation means C squared, not MC multiplied by two, reports Gigwise.

“The correct reading of the equation is E=MCC, so perhaps Mariah’s re-interpretation should have been ‘emancipation equals Mariah Carey Carey’?”

People with too much time on their hands. LOL.
