E Mc Squared - How to Discuss

E mc squared

What is the E in E mc2? Albert Einstein's formula E = mc2 means that energy is equal to the mass of an object times the square of the speed of light.

What is the full equation of E mc2?

E = mc2, the equation of the special theory of relativity of the German physicist Albert Einstein, which expresses that mass and energy are the same physical unit and can be converted into each other. In the equation, the increase in the relativistic mass (m) of a body multiplied by the speed of light squared (c2) equals the kinetic energy (E) of this body.
