In summary, E=MC2 is a famous equation developed by Albert Einstein that explains the relationship between mass and energy. It states that energy (E) is equal to mass (M) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared. This equation has significant implications in physics, as it shows that mass and energy are interchangeable and can be converted into one another. It also laid the foundation for the development of nuclear energy and further advancements in the field of physics.

How did you find PF?
I don't remember.
I have a burning physics question and am curious what responses I might get.
