"Does the "constant" represent speed, velocity, or acceleration?
What does the "C2" represent in Einstein's formula? "
C equals the speed of light.
So, speed or velocity and not acceleration.
Energy equals Mass times 300,000,000 meters per second times 300,000,000 meters per second
So the amount of joules of energy in 1 kg of matter is 1 times 300,000,000 times 300,000,000
Which would be: 9 x 10^16 joules.
With fusion or fission one could only get a fraction of that energy.
But if you have some anti-matter and combine it with matter you will get this amount of energy.
So if you combine 1/2 kg of antimatter with 1/2 kg of matter then the energy will be about 9 x 10^16 joules.
Or if a star losing say, 1 million kg of mass per second then the star is making 9 x 10^24 joules a second of energy.

- A suggestion of mine for any theoretical physicist lurking.
- It depends on the density of matter.
- Is there no room for learning, differing opinions, even errors on the Space board?
- Limits
- I think maximum T is determined by the maximum number of angels that can dance on a hydrogen atom. (n/t)
- Total Codswallop
- Upper limits
- That should be 9.0 x 10^20 ergs / gram.in the derivation (n/t)
