    Undergrad Energy apparently equals mass times the speed of light squared

    I have read through ths post and am still asking the question I didnt see or understand anything that even seemed to remotely address my question. No mass being measured ever travels at the speed of light so the relationship of C to kinetic energy in any mass isn't relavent to C but instead to...

    Undergrad Energy apparently equals mass times the speed of light squared

    That's the easy part. And I assume is a light hearted attempt at humour ha ha :) In fact that is exactly my point "units or numbers ...completely arbitrary and has no real bearing on the physical reality...!" in your words So change height into a number then we have a different numbetr...

    Undergrad Energy apparently equals mass times the speed of light squared

    Sorry edited your words to what I think you might have meant... But if you get it so often then that makes it a frequent question. A questions validity isn't based on the persons ability to see the answer themselves otherwise they would not ask the question would they? Just because someone...

    Undergrad Energy apparently equals mass times the speed of light squared

    If light travels as far as it does in a given time, how do you decide how to put a number on that speed? In 1 second it travels 1 light second. Its speed is measured as... miles per hour or kilometers per hour or seconds per inch or cubits per century ALL different numbers all are very much THE...
