Alright I've asked before but this is still bugging me.
given that the mass energy equation is this
energy=mass(lightspeed)2
xz2=x(lightspeed(z/y) )2
y2where
x=arbitrary unit for mass
y =arbitrary unit for time
z=arbitrary unit for length
I'm wondering why the value that converts mass to energy just happens to be lightspeed and not some other arbitrary/nonarbitrary value.
I don't see how the speed of light in a vacuum can 'cause' the rest energy of a unit of mass or vice versa if you get my drift?
