Best Answer

Einstein did not DISCOVER E= mc^2

He derived this formula based on other parts of his work. Specifically, he showed that an object that radiates an amount of electromagnetic energy 'E' would lose an amount of mass equal to E/c^2 At the time, this formula was an almost trivial part of 1905 papers.

He did the above while working as a patent clerk in Bern, Switzerland.
