while i appreciate the patronization, i still don't understand what the speed of light has to do with energy. i mean, sure there's proofs out there and all. but i mean, the speed of light seems to me like an arbitrary number when you're talking about the amount of energy in a chunk of matter...

So energy apparently equals mass times the speed of light squared. According to Einstein anyway. I was taking an objective look at this theory or whatever it's called just now and I got to wondering...what exactly does Einstein mean by "energy" and what does the speed of light have to do with...
