Has anyone ever wondered why the C^2 in E=MC^2 I'm sure it wasn't chosen at random just because a large constant was needed, it must fall out of some other physics equations.
But still, what does that mean? What does the transmutation of energy into mass or visa versa have to do with the universal speed limit?
I am always struck by the inexplicable power of mathematics to describe the physical laws of the universe, in often simple equations like this. It doesn't have to be that way as far as we know.
