        This was described by Einstein and say that a particle of mass ‘m’ has an energy called mass energy ‘E’ given by the equation: mass multiple by the speed of light squared.
        the speed of light is the one is the emptiness where c2 ≈ 9×1016 m2⋅s-2.

        E = mc2 is the world’s most famous equation. It is capable of powering the production of energy and of causing great devastation, a conflicted dimension that physicists have had to confront ever since.
        Mass energy defined in terms of mass multiplied by square of speed of light. c is the speed of light.
