I believed I was confused when they linked Newtonian equation into quantum phenomena. Such as linking P = h/lamba with Newtonian momentum to show the Law of Conservation of Momentum with photon applying to subatomic particles. Since it was photons I presumed they were talking about the speed of...

Ah alright thanks, I had no idea that relativity equation also applies to E=mc^2. Just to digress a bit, I found textbooks explaining the equation in kinetic motion - such as turning energy into mass - without the relativistic equation. Wouldn't be conceptually incorrect for them to use the rest...

Hi I am just wondering if E = mc^2 then wouldn't it also be correct to say 1/2mv^2=mc^2 since E is kinetic energy. So in order for an object to travel near light speed, it has travel twice (1/2v^2=c^2) the speed of light according to the above formulae. But according E=mc^2 light speed is the...
