Is E=mγc2 correct?


Quote by Antuanne View Post
I still can't figure out how to factor or whatever your doing to get to that!
Don't take this wrong, but while SR needs no higher math, it needs basic facility with algebra. It would be much better for you to review algebra and work it out for yourself than for me fill in one or two more steps between each posted intermediate result.

Antuanne, don't forget that[tex]\gamma = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}[/tex]You will need to use that at some point.
