phys (0219) - Space: E = mc^2

related to mass dilation again..

this goes against what chemists say about matter not being able to be created nor destroyed, but einstein suggests that matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter, at the speed of light of course.

because as speed increases, mass increases (mass dilation) so the faster you are, the heavier you are. so imagine being at lightspeed, mass would be ginormous man. i dunno what i can say about this formula, i'm not einstein hahaha.

basically.

E = energy
m = mass
c = speed of light

and the ^2 is significant coz it makes the numbers really big. and that's actually true hahaha.
