Rest Mass Energy

Work In Progress - Shiv Tailor HAI SHIV <3 -Alice Rest mass energy is the energy an object has when is not moving nor is it in a potential field. The famous equation

[math]\displaystyle{ E=mc^2 }[/math]

demonstrates the mass energy equivalence. What this equation means is that the Internal Energy (E) in Joules is equal to the mass (m) in kilograms times the speed of light (c) in meters per second squared.

This incredible relationship was shown by Albert Einstein in 1905.

A Mathematical Model

This is a very simple equation but it can be rewritten in many ways.

[math]\displaystyle{ E/(c^2)=m }[/math]

This is especially important because it says that all the energy, regardless of form, can be equated to mass
