For 10 points, identify this branch of physics concerned with space and time whose central equation is energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
In his book Open Sky, Paul Virilio formulates the discipline of dromology as an application of this discipline's principles to human life. This discipline's hole argument was discussed at length by the "three Johns" and asks whether substantivalism is a valid theory. In a discussion about privileging a certain quantity over others that are vitally necessary to us, Luce Irigaray argues that the central statement of this study is sexed. This study's founder formulated the Mach principle to explain the necessity of inertia. Alternatives to this idea include BransDicke theory. The inauguration of this theory dismissed the notion of a single "absolute space" and was partially introduced in the paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies."
