Okay, On an very similar but slightly different note, does anyone know why the kinetic energy equation ((1/2)*m*v^2) takes into account the speed of the mass, but E=MC² is the speed of light? Is it because E=MC² isn't just kinetic but all energy?

So when you throw in the OP's topic, we know the quantities (299,792,458m/s)^2 what then does it represent?

Am I correct in saying that "Miles per hours per hour" is a measurement of acceleration, and that Square miles is a measurement of size? If so where am I going wrong to say that square miles (a measurement of size) per hour per hour(a measurement of Time^2) (mph)^2 is the "acceleration of size"?

@Doc AI: what i meant by "changing speed of growth" is acceleration of size (L^2/T^2) (IE. square feet per second per second) you go from making something move to making it bigger. Thank you for pointing out that it is speed squared as well. I hadn't considered the implications that it wasn't...

Are the two so easily comparable? the kinetic energy equation (1/2)*m*v^2 takes mass times speed. whereas M*L^2/T^2 takes mass times the changing speed of growth.

Okay, I started thinking about relativity earlier, and got stuck on how to square speed. I went with some basics to try and figure it out, this is some of what i came up with; Main Question: Does (10mph)^2 equal? A. 10 m^2 per h^2 B. 100 m^2 per h^2 C. 100 mph Logically "B." makes...
