Week 4, E=MC2
E=MC2 seems to me to be the mathematical formula to the fact that everything is energy and everything has energy. I guess I don't tend to think in mathematical equations, but this equation actually seems to make a lot of sense to me...That somehow matter and energy are the same (=) just that energy is moving at the speed of light (C) sounds pretty amazing to me, and it also feels like it is true. Personally, matter is like condensed energy...When I touch my hair or arm I can feel that is is alive, that is possesses energy. But it's contained energy in a specific place, definitely not moving at the speed of light. Maybe Einstein is rolling over in his grave at my interpretation of his equation, but then again maybe he isn't.

touching the hair on your arm is the kind of matter and energy I can relate to...I can relate because I think about humans, I think about how much energy we possess and exude without thinking
