Detailed explanation-1: -E = mc2. It’s the world’s most famous equation, but what does it really mean? “Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.” On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.
Detailed explanation-2: -E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -E, or energy, which is the entirety of one side of the equation, and represents the total energy of the system. m, or mass, which is related to energy by a conversion factor. And c2, which is the speed of light squared: the right factor we need to make mass and energy equivalent.
