    Using e=mc^2 to calculate electrical properties

    from rearranging e=mc^2 i got time equivalent to (kg m^2/(A V) (kilogram meter squared per ampere volt))^(1/3) so if i have a material that is 1kg, 1m long, has 1amp, and 1volt, what does the time attribute mean? is that the amount of time it takes an electron to travel from one end of the...

    Q: About the relations bitween the inflation and matter's properties

    My question goes like this: Did the inflation following the Bing Bang caused matter to emerge as it is in our universe? In other words, was it the inflation itself that gave matter - electrons, neutrons and protons - its properties (physical size, quantums, velocity, mass), or perhaps the two...

    Understanding the Relationship between Absolute Value and Complex Numbers

    Why is |z|^2 = z*z? z = a + ib z*z = (a - ib)(a + ib) = a^2 + b^2 z^2 = (a + ib)^2 = a^2 + 2iab - b^2 So it must have something to do with the absolute value, but I don't understand what or why.
