    What does E=MC2 actually refer to?

    Question #128418. Asked by craaaaazy. (Dec 16 12 5:16 AM)

    A famous equation created by Albert Einstein in relation to his Special Theory of Relativity.
    Because the speed of light is a very large number and is multiplied by itself, this equation points out how a small amount of matter can release a huge amount of energy, as in a nuclear reaction.
    In average human terms, e=mc^2 basically represents the amount of energy you'd get if you totally converted an object's mass into pure energy
