Einstein's mass-energy relation |
0.07 sec. |
Einstein's mass-energy relationRelationship between mass (m) and energy (E) in Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, expressed E = mc2, where c equals 186,000 mi/second (300,000 km/second), the speed of light. Whereas mass and energy were viewed as distinct in earlier physical theories, in special relativity a body's mass can be converted into energy in accordance with Einstein's formula. Such a release of energy decreases the body's mass (see conservation law). How to thank TFD for its existence?
