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.)

It is amazing, isn’t it?

Since nothing can exceed the ‘Speed of Light’, the Speed of Light SQUARED is an impossibly infinite large number. Since mass increases as you approach the Speed of Light, the amount of Energy produced at the SQUARED Speed of Light is unbelievably large.

Converting Mass into Energy is a dangerous undertaking..............
