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.

Cool stuff

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.

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.

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.

[Huskrrrr]

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

Great article, thanks for posting.

"When we experience a radioactive decay, a nuclear fission or fusion reaction, or even — if we make our measurements precisely enough — an energy-liberating chemical reaction, the mass of what we start with (the reactants) is greater than the mass we end up with (the products), rendering the old law of “conservation of mass” invalid."

It even applies to dynamic, non chemical reactions. If you burn a candle some mass is converted to heat. Whereever that heat is absorbed, mass is increased.

Well, my physics dose for the day. Not sure what part I actually understand.

(How the heck did Einstein come up with the “speed-of-light squared” part of the E=Mc2 equation? Haven’t seen anything that explains how/why it takes exactly the speed of light squared to balance the equation and convert mass into energy in understandable terms to the average person.)

great article!!

“Mass, as far as we could tell, was truly a conserved quantity. But once we uncovered the laws of special relativity, we realized that mass, alone, simply couldn’t be the ultimate conserved quantity. “

In a closed system mass is an ultimate conserved quantity.
