E=mc² is Incomplete

You've heard of E=mc²... but you probably haven't heard the whole story.

mind blown.

HOW DOES THIS HAVE TOP COMMENT?!!?

Sorry silly error in my equation E=m/t2(d2 + π2r4) ok but √E= √m/t√(d2 + π2r4), not so important as realising that the triangle is there for explanatory purposes as mentioned in a post below. But actually it would be more appropriate to use a circle since space-time is curved. Either way energy goes from being 1-dimensional to 3D which is much better.

My speculative guess is that is probably wrong, that negative energy may exist but may not be light producing and has not been seen i.e. dark energy. It could also be equivalent to entropy, which exceeds light energy and causes expansion. It is probably due to interference, such as seen in quantum entanglement, which may be bifurcation (linked) involving 2 strange attractors. But more "noise" may lead to full on negative energy and thus chaotic entropy, e.g. in singularities.

Einsteins's theory can also be seen another way which is E= m X (d/t)2 that is, velocity of light is distance/time squared, so energy only has one dimension. But in an atom etc, it may be important for energy to have a 3-dimensional character. Thus I also have thought that E=mc2 is incomplete. But rather than a triangle, and given that space is meant to be curved, I came up with E= m(d/t)2 + m(πr2/t)2 which gives E= m/t2(d2 + π2r4) and so √E= √m/t(d + πr2). Why a triangle for curved space?

What if something goes faster than the speed of light?

holy shiznipples...

best way to explain it!

good job

/watch?v=_VkxCtf0yKk This is autorized?

Holy CRAP! amazing mind sodomy ._.

[Komadger]

is p in this case linear momentum or rotatory momentum?

(sorry if it's a dumb question, but i didn't learn physics in english ;-) )

[TheShiphoo]

Then Spacetime must have a mass
