See also Einstein in this glossary.a mathematical formula developed in 1905 by German-born physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955). E stands for energy. M stands for mass. C2 is the symbol for the speed of light (c) squared (multiplied by itself), which is 300,000 km per second times 300,000 km per second; in other words, an extremely large number. This formula states that the energy that could be released by a piece of matter is equal to the amount of the mass multiplied by this enormous number. Simply stated, this formula expresses that a tiny amount of matter can be converted into an enormous quantity of energy. For example, if one gram of mass (a very tiny amount) was converted into energy, it could supply more than that used in a large city in an entire day.
