What needs to convert matter into energy by E=mc^2?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Matter to energy conversion is generally confined to particle annihilation (e.g. electron-positron annihilation) or nuclear processes (e.g. fusion or fission).
 
In formula E=mc^2 what's role of 'c'?
 
It's a constant of proportionality; a unit conversion between mass and energy.
 
What if i want to convert matter of my body into energy?
M i need to run with speed of light or more?
 
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.
 
Mass will prevent to run with speed of light, means imposible to gain speed of light?
 
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...
