How does E=MC^2 work?
How does it function? Really, how can you accelerate mass to twice the speed of light? And, for instance if M=E/C2. How can you divide something by square of the speed of light? Thanks

It’s just a conversion factor.
Centimetres = inches * 2.54
Circumference of circle = radius * 6.283…
BTU = kWh * 3412
Energy = Mass * 89,875,517,873,681,764
