#MyFavouriteEquation — Scientists share their fave formulae
There’s beauty on the blackboard.

Does one song make your heart beat faster? Is there a turn of phrase that sings a little more sweetly in your ear? We all have our favourite things.
Physicists explain the wonders of the universe through the symbolic language of mathematics, so it makes sense that they tend to have special fondness for certain equations.
We asked 16 scientists to reveal which equation stole their heart, and why.
