    Graduate Speed of Light Dilemma: Einstein's Formula E=MC^2 Explained

    While listening to "Science Friday" on NPR today, I heard a Swiss physicist explaining that scientists can now produce Ant-Matter in a process based on Eintein's formula E=MC^2 whereby energy is converted into matter. Given that "C" in the formula is the speed of light and knowing that the speed...
