Everything is relatively relative.
Take my mother in law for example. Please!

A bump to the top.
Einstein didn't kill himself.

Isaac Asimov wrote a very detailed and digestible article about E=MC^2 back in the late 50s or early 60s. It was one of the best lay-science articles I ever read. For those thst love physics. It may not want to get into the math and deep into the weeds and theoretical physics discoveries in history that led up to how Al got to his equation, I really recommend the Asimov essay.

Otherwise, if you're not going too fast, it's E=½mv2 where m is also mass and v is velocity, just not that of light.
To: Red Badger
Over 90% of the mass of baryonic matter is actually in the form of the relativistic kinetic energy of quarks. They’re moving at very close to the speed of light and so their proportionally small mass is amplified by the inherent increase due to relativistic effects.

Thanks for posting this cartoon; it came to mind as soon as I read the title. Larson is great, IMO. There’s another one with Einstein in front of a blackboard with all kinds of math notations, and at the bottom it has = $. The caption says something like, “Einstein discovers time is equal to money.”

Ok, now lets see it in common core math.
For as long as humans had been conducting science, there was a seemingly immutable law of nature that was never violated
Until today when men can be women but no one knows what a woman is.

Mainly that energy is proportional to coffee, squared.

The speed of light is constant, whether you’re moving or not. That blows my mind.
