Go ahead.
And post whatever criticism / counter-point you have as well.
From JustDoItAlways | 10/04/2005 9:17:48 AM EDT readC Squared is a measure of Acceleration.
C = 186,000 miles / second
C^2 = 186,000 miles / second * 186,000 / second
C^2 = 34,596,000,000 miles / second^2
C^2 = 34,596,000,000 miles / second / second
(which is a measure of acceleration)
Which doesn't seem to make sense does it? The E Energy which pushes light, also accelerates it at the speed of light. How can the speed remain constant when it constantly accelerating as well?
Maybe another way to look at it is light is actually a quantum wave. The Photons jump from wave peak to wave peak. Perhaps light is actually constantly being accelerated from position A (wave peak 1) to position B (wave peak 2) at the same speed of light.
Perhaps I just broke new ground by tying quantum physics to Einstein's physics to Newton's physics.
F=MA = E=MC^2 in the quantum world.
By the way, I have a degree in Math.
Rather post my own comments at this time, I'm simply going to post a little something off the web for you to think about and reflect upon in light of your response to my homework assignment.
The Quantity Calculus
The basic principle necessary for the meaningful use of real physical quantities in algebraic equations is called the quantity calculus, although it has no connection with the mathematical procedures of the differential and integral calculus. The principle of the quantity calculus is this:Whenever physical quantities are used in algebraic equations, all mathematical operations are performed alike upon the quantity and upon the unit.
If this principle is followed correctly, then the result of the mathematical operation will always produce an answer which has both the correct quantity and the correct unit.

I know reiterate your original statement, as well as my questions in response:
...and the acceleration is simply the speed of light (the speed of the electro-magnetic spectrum) squared.Homework assignment:
What units is speed measured in?
In what units is acceleration measured in?
If you square a speed, what units is speed measured in?
Would you care to make any corrections at this time?
Oh, dear. What happened to the "miles" unit on the second factor of "C"? Shouldn't the units be "miles^2/second^2"?
