The result is the celebrated formula E=mc2. Since the speed of light, c, is a very large number, and c2 an even greater number, the energy obtained transforming one gram of mass is enormous; it is the energy of millions of bombs exploding at the same time—enough energy to illuminate a city and power the industries of a country for months, or, conversely, capable of destroying in a second hundreds of thousands of human beings in a city such as Hiroshima.
Mass times the speed of light squared... Is a circus number of like 90 billion km per second - or - a speed fast enough to make our Cosmos navigable. Is our consciousness if trained through mindfullness awareness capable of traveling at this speed... Is this the speed of our moment of death, when the final animating breath is exhaled out of our human lungs...
