Did we solve your problem today?

Einstein's equation gives the enormous energy stored in mass.

The math behind it

E = mass × speed of light² (c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s).

Worked example

1 gram → 8.99 × 10¹³ J (~21.5 kilotons TNT).

FAQ

Why so much?

c² is a huge multiplier — tiny mass yields immense energy.
