	Information about the "De Pretto-Einstein case" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		- Olinto De Pretto was born in Schio in the province of Vicenza in northern Italy on April 26, 1857.
		One should not forget moreover that De Pretto very likely was not aware of Einstein's papers, as an outsider from Physics departments, and that when Einstein's reputation was increasing, and his name was worldwide known, De Pretto died (he died in 1921, and Einstein got his Nobel prize in 1922).
		Anyway, there is no need that the whole volume in which De Pretto's essay was published should have been in the shelves of the Swiss Patent Office: it would have been enough for Besso to have a reprint of that paper, which surely Olinto's brother was happy to make circulate between friends.

	Olinto De Pretto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Olinto De Pretto (1857 - 1921) was an Italian industrialist from Schio, Vicenza.
		According to University of Perugia historian of mathematics Umberto Bartocci, Pretto published the famous formula E=mc² two years before Albert Einstein on June 16, 1903 in a paper titled "Ipotesi dell’etere nella vita dell’universo" (Hypothesis of the Essence of the Universe).
		But of course Pretto did not derive the equation using the theory of relativity.

		The industrialist Olinto De Pretto, a native of the Veneto region of Italy, published the article in which he gave, in its final form, the equation E=mc2.
		De Pretto thereby preceded Einstein's famous 1905 " E=mc2 " paper by at least a year-and-a-half. In the article, Olinto De Pretto actually comments on how amazing his discovery is. De Pretto could hardly believe his mathematical discovery.
		De Pretto himself however, understood the significance of his discovery.

		Bartocci explained that although De Pretto devised the equation, he didn't link it with a theory of relativity, so Einstein's credibility is largely preserved.
		Bartocci said: "De Pretto did not discover relativity, but there is no doubt that he was the first to use the equation.

		Einstein allegedly used De Pretto's insight in a major paper published in 1905, but De Pretto was never acclaimed, said Professor Bartocci of the University of Perugia.
		De Pretto had stumbled on the equation, but not the theory of relativity, while speculating about ether in the life of the universe, said Prof Bartocci.
		When the penny finally dropped, De Pretto's contribution was overlooked while Einstein went on to become the century's most famous scientist.

		"It was a relatively unknown Italian industrialist Olinto De Pretto who published the equation first in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Veneto Institute of Science, Letters and Arts on November 29, 1903," he told DNA in an exclusive interview from his home in Perugia, Italy.
		"De Pretto did not discover relativity, but there is no doubt he was the first to use the equation," says Dr Bartocci.
		The historian adds that De Pretto derived the equation because he was convinced that each body was made of ether and that E=mc2 was a measure of ether energy stored in it.

	Response to my Einstein bio
		Dr. Umberto Bartocci, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Perugia, in his book, "Albert Einstein e Olinto De Pretto: la vera storia della formula piu' famosa del mondo" (Albert Einstein and Olinto De Pretto, the true history of the most famous formula in the world) has published De Pretto's article in full.
		In the article, De Pretto actually comments on how amazing his discovery is. That is a kilogram of any material there is within an extraordinary explosion of energy.
		Yet based on the Besso link with the De Pretto article, and also that Einstein was well aware of other groundbreaking work by Italian physicists (having read deeply the Italian physics literature), it would seem difficult to deny that Einstein was aware of the De Pretto article.

	E= mc^2 is Not Einstein's Discovery
		Except for the last remarks on Olinto De Pretto, this article is concerned mostly with "radiation" and its relation to E = mc^2.
		We all know that Poincaré is sometimes given priority for the Principle of Relativity which he stated in his talk "L'etat actuel et l'avenir de la physique mathematique," at the Congress of Arts and Sciences, St. Louis, Sept 24, 1904 and identified the Lorentz transformations group properties (Acad, des Sciences (Paris) Comptes rendus (1905):1504).
		There is considerable evidence that Einstein was aware of the De Pretto speculation and that this was an additional driving force behind his faulty attempt to derive this expression for radiation, at the least.

		James R didn't deny tha AE stole the famous equation from at least three others, he smothed it out with a "not in its complete form", withiut any attempt to go into detail.
		In a lecture given in 1904, Poincaré reiterated the principle of relativity, described the method of synchronization of clocks with light signals, urged a more satisfactory theory of the electrodynamics of moving bodies based on Lorentz's ideas and predicted a new mechanics characterized by the rule that the velocity of light cannot be surpassed.
		This was followed in June 1905 by a mathematical paper entitled 'Sur la dynamique de 1'electron', in which the connection between relativity (impossibility of detecting absolute motion) and the Lorentz transformation, given by Lorentz a year earlier, was recognized.

		Bjerknes (2002) suggested as a possible candidate S. Tolver Preston, who "formulated atomic energy, the atom bomb and superconductivity back in the 1870s, based on the formula E = mc2".
		In addition to Preston, a major player in the history of E = mc2 who deserves a lot of credit is Olinto De Pretto (1904).
		In "Einstein's E = mc2 'was Italian's idea'" (Carroll, 1999), we see clear evidence that De Pretto was ahead of Einstein in terms of the formula E = mc2.
