I am always confused about e-mc2 can you explain it in an easy way ?
okie so the famous equation (E = mc^2) by Albert Einstein, represents a fundamental principle of relativity.
Here:
E stands for energy.
m stands for mass.
c stands for the speed of light in a vacuum, which is about ( 2.99 × 10⁸) meters per second.
In simple terms, the equation shows that mass (m) and energy (E) are two forms of the same thing and can be converted into each other. The speed of light squared (( c^2 )) is a very large number, which means a small amount of mass can be converted into a very large amount of energy.
ok one more physics post. i'm still thinking about my TA saying all physics is about finding the best possible approximation of the universe because it's genuinely the most beautiful thing i can imagine? like of course we are never going to comprehend it fully or be able to account for every nook and cranny but we're so in love with it that we need to understand. in the best way possible. anyway
