E = mc2, the most famous equation in the history of science, is so simple that everyone understands it, and yet it is so awesome and profound. The speed of light c is 300,000,000 meters per second. Its square c2 is 90,000 trillion m2/s2, a hard-to-imagine large value. So, a little amount of mass could become an incredibly humungous amount of energy. If the energy in the mass is unlocked and released at once, it would be an explosion unimaginable… (Fig. 11.1)

E = mc2, the most famous equation in the history of science, is so simple that everyone understands it, and yet it is so awesome and profound. The speed of light c is 300,000,000 meters per second. Its square c2 is 90,000 trillion m2/s2, a hard-to-imagine large value. So, a little amount of mass could become an incredibly humungous amount of energy. If the energy in the mass is unlocked and released at once, it would be an explosion unimaginable… (Fig. 11.1)
