E = cm^2 divided by m and multiplied by c.

Sure, lets try that.

E = [(cm^2) / m ] c Use parentheses to isolate terms
= cm x c Divide first term by m
= c^2 m Multiply first term by second
= mc^2 Rearranging terms

So you start out with a bogus equation, E = cm^2, and you arbitrarily divide by m and multiply by c to make it come out right: E = mc^2.

Now I get it.

Einstein got the outcome of the calculation E= mc^2 figured out correctly but (originally from Mysteries of the Multiverse) - johannes - 3/16/2014 1:46:29 AM

        I see what you mean, so lets try another method. - johannes - 3/17/2014 8:24:09 PM
