Uncovering the Truth Behind E=mc²

  • Thread starter Anything
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the validity of the equation e = mc² and its role in the creation of the atomic bomb. One person believes it to be true, while another claims it is a hoax and that Einstein never existed. They also joke about the moderators on the site being aliens and discuss using Project Franzbear as a cover. The conversation then goes on to mention special relativity and suggests reading Einstein's collected papers for a better understanding of the concept. One person admits to possibly missing something, to which the other responds with a joke.

Ahhh...yea. Thats how the atomic bomb was made (bombing of hiroshima for example). A simple chain reaction to release the energy stored uranium in atoms.

Nope. The whole thing is a hoax. Einstein never existed. E=mc2 is government propaganda designed to brainwash you. And all the moderators on this site are aliens. Congrats on uncovering the truth :).

Way to go, Doofus. :grumpy:

Now we're going to have to cook up a whole new cover. :grumpy: :grumpy:

We can just use project franzbear to cover it up.

If we're being pedantic its only the low velocity limit the whole truth is uncovered in special relativity. I suggest reading through the collected papers of Einstein. It's not as tough as it may sound because he has a great way of explaining his logic to all.

1. What does e=mc² mean?

According to Albert Einstein's famous equation, e=mc² means that energy (e) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (c) squared. This equation shows the relationship between mass and energy.

2. Is e=mc² proven?

Yes, e=mc² has been proven through various experiments and is a fundamental principle of modern physics. It has been verified through experiments such as nuclear reactions and the production of energy in nuclear power plants.

3. What is the significance of e=mc²?

E=mc² is significant because it revolutionized our understanding of the relationship between mass and energy. It also led to the development of nuclear energy and weapons, as well as advancements in fields such as astronomy and cosmology.

4. Can e=mc² be applied to everyday life?

Yes, e=mc² can be applied to everyday life. It helps us understand the amount of energy released in nuclear reactions, the energy stored in matter, and the relationship between mass and energy in the universe.

5. Are there any limitations to e=mc²?

While e=mc² is a fundamental principle of physics, it does have limitations. It does not apply to objects that are moving at speeds close to the speed of light and does not take into account other factors such as gravity and quantum effects.
