What is \( E = mc^2 \), the famous theory of Albert Einstein?

Actually it's E = m c 2 and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light ( c 2 ). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Theory of relativity and E = mc²
Main article: History of special relativityEinstein's "Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper" ("On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies") was received on 30 June 1905 and published 26 September of that same year. It reconciles Maxwell's equations for electricity and magnetism with the laws of mechanics, by introducing major changes to mechanics close to the speed of light. This later became known as Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Einstein's equation E = m c 2 expresses the equivalence of mass ( m ) and energy ( E ), revealing that a small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy. This formula plays a crucial role in nuclear reactions and represents a key achievement in the theory of relativity established in 1905. The equation encapsulates the profound connection between mass and energy, reshaping our understanding of physical laws.
