E=MC2 means
energy can be converted into mass and converted back to energy squared!!
Yay!!

Close...

E = energy
M = mass
C² = speed of light squared

E doesn't get squared at any point. You can't end up with more energy than you began with.

E=MC²
M=E/C²
C²=E/M
C=sqrt(E/M)

what if the transfered energy from tiny meteorites built up on earth then there would be to much would the entire planet speed up or would something else happen?

If you tell us the mass of your brain, we can figure out how much energy that would create.

The faster something moves the closer it gets to becoming pure energy. Is that right?

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

...well if we say the average mass of an adult human brain is 1300-1400g. Lets bring that down to about 1000g or 1 kg cause it's a nice round number and flowergirlajg is not an adult.

E (in joules) = M (in kg) * C^2 ( in ms)
E = 1*299792458^2
E ≈90 × 10^15 Joules
~90 petajoules

In contrast, 'Fat Man', the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in WWII, had an estmated yield of 8.78×10^13 Joules, the equivalent of 21 kilotons of TNT or about
88 terajoules. So the explosion flowergirlajg's brain would be over 1000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb.

Well, I'm not up on all the physics but I believe the idea is that nothing can move faster than light, so to move as fast as light, you would have to become light.

Wow...
what are you STUDYING??
And wow, 1000 times more powerful than a atomic bomb!
And you did all this math just for me..
I feel special!! :dance:
