Galileo turned his thoughtful gaze up to the stars,
He saw the moons of Jupiter, saw sunspots, and saw Mars
The Church said from this heresy, the people must be spared
But as they prayed, the ground was laid For E=mc squared.
Newton's laws of motion sure helped physics knowledge soar
He then invented calculus, so students won't be bored
His laws persisted regally for several hundred years
'Til one upstart young patent clerk threw a wrench into the gears
E=mc squared, my boys
E=mc squared
