E = m*c^2 In this formula, it is demonstrated that an increase in mass will also bring about an increase in energy if the formula is to remain valid. Any change on one side of the "=" sign would also need to be reflected on the other side of the "=" sign to maintain the ratio implied. ... Just thinkin' in cyberspace... Brian Trout Take E = mc^2 (from Einstein) .. If f = m*a, (from Newton) then m = f/a (from Algebra) then E = (f/a)*c^2 C squared is a HUGE number. Since you are multiplying it by a ratio, the smaller the ratio the smaller the E. The ratio gets smaller as " a " gets larger and " f " gets smaller. This looks like there is a heck of a lot of energy. solving for " f " ..... f = E*a/c^2 OR Einstein = Newton*the speed of light squared. Einstein was pretty smart but not that smart. I suppose there is a value for C^2 that makes Newton twice as smart as Einstein, but I can't count that low. --- ---ricognaten
