Simple = Beautiful

Read an interesting piece by K. Chang of the NY Times; the greatest (math) equations. Is it the real basic ones (1 + 1 = 2) or the more "fundamental" ones (euler, e to the power of i times Pi = -1 (or +1 = 0)... oh how easy to do maths in regular html)? My personal "shortlist" would probably include Maxwell, mostly because of a rather geeky tshirt with the text: "And God said...." followed by the equations.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light [us std]


(passed 400k and went into top 12k on whizzball...)
...and the sun makes short apperances as it heads south for the winter...
