[ e = mc2 ] is a statement, not a question.
It's one of the surprising results that pop up if you assume that - The laws of Physics are the same for everybody in the Universe
who isn't accelerating, and
- everybody in the Universe measures the same speed of light,
no matter how fast or slow he's moving. Some other things that pop up are the facts that the faster you drive
down my street, the more I see your mass increase, your car get shorter,
and your wrist-watch slow down.
It's difficult to explain without access to a mathematical typesetting program, but you can find it worked out in any book on special relativity.Basically, Einstein used special relativity to work out the kinetic energy of a moving particle, and then determined the momentum of a moving particle. The relativistic mass of a moving particle is the ratio of the momentum to the velocity, and following this chain of equations out he found that E = mc2.

The correct formula is E = mc2 (E equals m c squared) and it was coined by Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein created e=mc2 which means energy=mass and c= the square of the speed of light.
e = mc2 is a famous equation by Albert Einstein (who, along with with Sir Isaac Newton, is probably the most famous physicist to have lived). It tells us that energy is equal to the product of mass and the square of the speed of light.
The Energy in a specific piece of matter is equal to its mass times the square of the speed of light.You might usefully investigate the units in this equation: was Einstein using ergs, grams, kilometers or what.
Partly to ensure that the dimensions of the equation balance.
The energy (E) in any body of matter is equal to its mass (M) times the square of the speed of light (C2)
Formally it is written as E = mc^(2) E = Energy ( joules) m = mass ( kg) c = speed of light in a vacuum (m/s; metres per second) c^(2) = speed of light squared ( m^2/s^2) or (m/s)^2 Note how similar it is to kinetic energy K.E. = (0.5) m v^(2) KE is Kinetic Energy m = mass v = velocity(speed) .
It wasn't solved per se, but discovered and described by Albert Einstein. It describes the relationship between energy and matter. What it means is that if you convert matter directly (and in a lossless manner) into energy, the amount of energy created will equal the original mass of the matter multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
Albert Einstein has told me that the number is 4.
