What is pure energy? Is it equal to radiant energy? What does that E in E=mc^2 stand for?
To be exact, and as chroot said, there is no such thing as "pure energy." However people do use that term. When they do they usually are referring to the energy of matter which consists of particles which have zero rest mass. Although it sounds odd Einstein did state that EM radiation was to be considered to be "matter."Ratzinger said:What is pure energy? Is it equal to radiant energy?

Pure energy is a concept that refers to energy in its most basic form, without any impurities or other forms of matter. It is often described as the energy that exists in a vacuum or in empty space.
E=mc^2 is a famous equation developed by Albert Einstein that explains the relationship between mass and energy. This equation states that energy (E) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (c) squared. In other words, mass can be converted into energy and vice versa.
Pure energy is a theoretical concept and cannot be harnessed in its pure form. However, energy can be converted from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy, and can be used to power various technologies and devices.
No, pure energy and renewable energy are not the same. Pure energy refers to energy in its most basic form, whereas renewable energy refers to energy that is derived from natural resources and can be replenished over time, such as solar or wind energy.
Examples of pure energy include electromagnetic radiation, such as light and radio waves, and gravitational energy. These forms of energy do not require a medium or matter to exist and can travel through empty space.
