  The equation E = mc², formulated by Albert Einstein, expresses the relationship between energy (E), mass (m), and the speed of light (c) in a vacuum.
  
  Here’s what it means:
  
  E stands for energy,
  
  m is mass,
  
  c is the speed of light (approximately 299,792,458 meters per second),
  
  c² means the speed of light squared.
  
  This equation tells us that mass and energy are interchangeable—they are different forms of the same thing. A small amount of mass can be converted into a tremendous amount of energy because the speed of light squared (c²) is a huge number. This principle is the basis for nuclear energy and atomic bombs, where tiny amounts of mass are converted into vast energy releases

  Hey! 👋
  E = mc² means energy (E) equals mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared.
  
  It shows that mass can be converted into energy, and even a small amount of mass gives a huge amount of energy because c² is very large. 💥
