E = MC^2

Those explanations do no not say what you think they say dude. It looks like they are going from one equation to another, but that does not answer WHY that relationship is what it is in any equation. Indeed, they can't possibly answer that. But whoever, or whatever, created this universe wanted its most fundamental equation explaining the universe to have a nice, neat squared number in there.

You're silly, which is a super nice way have saying you've decided to remain willfully ignorant. In my pantheon of human foibles, willful ignorance is tied with psychopathic murder for being less than upstanding.

"No your wrong!!!" Just keep repeating that over and over IronWing...

I couldn't possibly repeat that; your grammar is atrocious.

What is interesting is the following two equations,

Schwarzschild metric - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Einstein–Cartan theory - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Manny 2's in that one when it could have been something else, plus that last one equals exactly 0.

What if C isn't constant though? Would that affect the perfect squared by 2?

Sexy lady, I think the equation would then have become a variable equation. Basically one might need to add another vector, and maybe something would need to be squared or c would be cubed. Honestly speaking, I do not know.

yeah, think i'm gonna go with einstein here

Yes, everyone knows the squared relationship. That is my point, why is it such a perfect squared relationship, why not 2.1, 2.2, 2.9, 2.445764343254346345, 1.23534563456345, 11.235345645745634534, there are so many things it can be, but its a perfect 2. Like I said, almost like whoever put the equations and laws of our universe together wanted the most fundamental ones to be nice and neat.

You have seemingly ignored the compelling reason already given in this previous post

In the formula M*C^n, n=2 is the only case that results in the units of energy. So it's either 2, or it's not E on the other side.

It is called dimensional analysis. Google it.

I don't follow. That is the right side of the equation. The left side is energy. Anything on the right side equals energy on the left side, because matter and the speed of light are still there. Why don't you just break down the point all simple for me like?

I'll be waiting!

Careful, don’t let him see the e^(i*pi)=-1 proof

Also, make sure you don't clue him in to how often pi shows up in our simulation.

I'm guessing you've never taken calculus, or at least remember nothing from it.

more insight from people..

Why is there that 'c' in the equation E=mc^2?

Answer (1 of 29): Forget for a moment that c represents the speed of light. What relativity is primarily about is unifying the concept of space and time. That implies measuring space and time using a common unit. But how can you do that? Suppose that you have a unit of length. How does it get con...
