I obtained an analytical description of time dilation and length contraction which describes why these occur at high speeds. However there was no such analysis of Einstein's famous equation E=m(c squared).
Instead, a derivation that I found in http://www.karlscalculus.org/einstein.html starts off with
m =
m0
√1 - v2/c2
Then they derive the formula using calculus.
Is an analytical treatment for E=m(c squared) possible? Is there any thought experiment which helps us to realize the applicability of the mass-energy equivalence?
