So I was trying to debunk a conspiracy theory involving bombs and I realized that I have a small problem with Einstein's equation: E=mc2
To be honest I haven't really understood how it's used... I mean, how far should the fission go until as much energy as E=mc2 is released?
Does the matter have to completely disappear into the strings of energy the String Theory studies or every time an atom goes through fission, that much energy is released?( For example the same amount of energy is released in fission of 1kg of Mg into Li as in the fission of 2kg of Mg into C)
If it's the first case, how much energy does each kg of 80% enreached uranium actually release in a nuclear explosion?
