In regards to E=mc2 I have a difficult time wrapping my head around how it affects me. I suppose it affects me daily, from nuclear energy to the daunting thoughts of nuclear warfare in my lifetime. If I am thinking of it correctly, then the concept that "mass is released as radiant energy= heat & light" makes me think of starting a fire by hand. Has anyone had that experience? to spin a piece of wood onto a wooden block so quickly as to create friction so it starts a spark, then you can harness that spark with a piece of dried out mugwort or other starter "fuel" then add a little oxygen and bam you have a fire! In this example the dried out piece of mugwort is harnessing the power of energy. That is what I think of when I apply e=mc2....
