SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the derivation of the equation E=mc², emphasizing the need for a solid understanding of calculus and classical physics concepts such as momentum, force, and energy. Participants are encouraged to explore the relationship between mass-energy equivalence and time-dilation and mass-dilation equations in the context of Special Relativity. The reference to Adel F. Antippa's work highlights the importance of academic literature in understanding these complex topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Calculus techniques, particularly integration
  • Classical physics concepts: momentum, force, work/energy
  • Understanding of Special Relativity principles
  • Familiarity with academic literature in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of E=mc² using calculus
  • Learn about time-dilation and mass-dilation equations in Special Relativity
  • Read Adel F. Antippa's "Inertia of energy and the liberated photon"
  • Explore advanced integration techniques relevant to physics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators, and anyone interested in the mathematical foundations of Special Relativity and mass-energy equivalence.

Hi,
I am very eager to know how to derive e=mc^2.
I am sure that you all would be knowing how to derive the world famous equation E=mc^2.i know the basics but still it is a tough job to explain that. But I am hoping that you would send me a reply as soon as possible. Thank you
 
Physics news on Phys.org
do you know how to derive the time-dilation and mass-dilation equations for Special Relativity? are you comfortable with techniques of integration in calculus? and with concepts of classical physics (like momentum, force, work/energy)?
 
if you know that the center of mass conserves have a look at
Adel F. Antippa, "Inertia of energy and the liberated photon," Am.J.Phys. 44 841 (1976)
