Umberto Bartocci (born 1944) is a historian of mathematics, formerly a professor of mathematics at the University of Perugia. He has argued that Olinto De Pretto was the originator (in 1903) of the famous equation E = mc , which is nowadays usually deduced from the theory of relativity, using alternatively an aether-supported argument. Other studies of Umberto Bartocci regard the discovery of the New World (which in his opinion was not a case of serendipity, but the first episode of the so called "scientific revolution"), and the mysterious disappearance of the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana in 1938 (perhaps murdered for scientific-political reasons).
Bartocci studied for two years at the University of Cambridge.
