Wow, Lasers! is there anything they cannot do ?

More seriously I wonder about E=Mc^2

if E=0 what happens to the M and C ?

For E (Energy) to equal 0, either M or C or BOTH MUST be zero. It’s a Law.

If M (Mass) equal Zero, then the element falls apart into it’s various and numerous particles, which then will disappear as they would have no Strong or Weak Force to keep them together.

If C (Speed of Light) equal Zero, then the atom will freeze in space-time like a photograph of itself.

If BOTH go to Zero, then you can pick and place the parts, rearrange them and make whatever you want out of them, transmutation, essentially...........................

No contradiction. E=mc2 tells you how much energy is stored in a given amount of mass. If m=0, then E=0. If E=0, then m=0. Or, as a math nerd would say, E=0 iff m=0.

C is never zero; it's the speed of light in a vacuum. It's a constant, never changes.
