How matter converted into energy?

[Ravi Mandavi]

What needs to convert matter into energy by E=mc^2?

 

[zhermes]

Matter to energy conversion is generally confined to particle annihilation (e.g. electron-positron annihilation) or nuclear processes (e.g. fusion or fission).

 

[Ravi Mandavi]

In formula E=mc^2 what's role of 'c'?

 

[zhermes]

It's a constant of proportionality; a unit conversion between mass and energy.

 

[Ravi Mandavi]

What if i want to convert matter of my body into energy?
M i need to run with speed of light or more?

 

[lntz]

the very fact that you have mass will prevent you from running at the speed of light.

E=MC^2 C= the speed of light, it is not to do with how fast the matter is travelling.

 

[Ravi Mandavi]

Mass will prevent to run with speed of light, means imposible to gain speed of light?

 

[zhermes]

Matter can never reach the speed of light.
If you want your body's mass to be converted to energy, your best bet would be to find a roughly equivalent weight of anti-matter, and annihilate with it...
