Einstein's equation??

I recently heard about an Einstein packing density equation that has the structure of

 

Øa = Øb*[1-(V/Vmax)]^n

 

I am not sure where this is from and couldn't find such an Einstein formula nor its explanation on the web.

 

Can anyone help to point me in the right direction?

Check wikipedia. If you are thinking of Einstiens field equations, they are available on wikipedia.

The most known Einstein equation is E=mc2

That is an equation attributed to and presumably also used by Einstein. There is, however, indeed a forumla which is called "Einstein equation" (and often used in the plural because you can write it as multiple equations): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_equation . The Einstein equation basically describes the geometry of space-time as a function of the distribution of the masses in it (that´s not completely correct but I wouldn´t want to go into too much detail here). Yet, the Einstein equations do not resemble the equation presented by Mystral and I´ve neither seen them nor would I even know what the symbol before the a and b is.
