Best Answer

To my knowledge, Albert Einstein was the first to publish a scientific paper on the concept of mass-energy conservation. This is most famously arranged into the formulae E=mc^2, where E is the quantity of energy, m the 'mass defect' (the amount of mass 'lost' or converted to energy) and c^2 the speed of light squared.

How is Energy like a shapeshifter?

That simply means that energy can take on very different forms, and that it may take some practice to recognize those different forms as manifestations of the same thing, i.e., different types of energy.

Is matter and energy two forms of the same thing?

energy is matter moving at the speed of light (e=mc2)


Who said matter and energy are equal 1905?

Albert Einstein. He came up with the famous equation E=mc2 which explains that energy and mass are 2 different forms of the same thing and massive amounts of energy can be released from tiny amounts of matter.


What is the scientific explanation of Emc2?

That energy and mass are just two forms of the same thing.


What form of energy is a rock?

A rock is one type of energy called, "Mass", which on Earth, we call weight. Dr Einstein mathematically proved this long ago and wrote about it under the title of "Relativity". He proved that energy and things with weight (really, mass) are the same things, but in different forms. Sound odd? Consider water . . . it is still water even if it's steam, liquid water, or ice. Same thing, but just in different forms.


Why was Einstein the god of science?

He is arguably the "god of science" but I believe the reason why is because he discovered that the speed of light is constant, he pictured space in a single space-time fabric, he discovered the photoelectric effect, that energy and mass are the same thing just in a different form and much more.
