words only definitions & notes
  1. photon
    a tiny bundle of matter that transmits light
    An example is that positrons and electrons (matter) may transform into photons (non-matter).
  2. equivalence
    essential comparability and interchangeability
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  3. electron
    an elementary particle with negative charge
    An example is that positrons and electrons (matter) may transform into photons (non-matter).
  4. squared
    having been made square
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  5. convert
    change the nature, purpose, or function of something
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  6. transform
    change or alter in appearance or nature
    An example is that positrons and electrons (matter) may transform into photons (non-matter).
  7. energy
    forceful exertion
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  8. converted
    spiritually reborn
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  9. mass
    the property of a body that causes it to have weight
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
  10. formula
    a group of symbols that make a mathematical statement
    Albert Einstein showed[7] that ultimately all matter is capable of being converted to energy (known as mass-energy equivalence) by the famous formula E = mc2, where E is the energy of a piece of matter of mass m, times c2 the speed of light squared.
