What's the fastest can ever take your Scirocco? - more numbers

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

My apologies to Aaron and some others who I took exception to;I was dead wrong about Albert's equation; his definition of C certainly was the speed of light.
Which goes to show that even a genius can be wrong...I mean Mr. Einstein! (not me...I'm no genius)
:)

Using AE's formula, can anyone tell me what the muzzle energy of a 180 grain 30-06 bullet is?  (I know the answer, it is 2913 foot-pounds.)  Now, you use Einsteins's formula to calculate that same answer.
You can't. It won't work.  There is something missing...can you tell me what it is?
His formula only works for something traveling at the speed of light.

Now then, can someone show me how his theory says that mass increases as speed increases, since his theory has speed being a constant? i.e. provides for no increase/decrease in speed (which I think was the original subject)

    Okay, Aaron, tell me what, in E=MC2, the letters stand for.
    I think you are calling "C" something different from what Albert said it stood for......
     


  e=mc2, written in words:

  energy = mass x ((the speed of light) Squared)

  All are expressed in SI units - ie. : Joules, kg, Meters per second - in that order.

  This what Einstein meant when he first wrote this equation - and that's how this equation has been interpreted ever since.

  All the best
