Listen to Albert Einstein explain his famous formula:
http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/sound/voice1.mp3
"It followed from the special theory of
relativity that mass and energy are both but
different manifestations of the same thing -- a
somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average
mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m
c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass,
multiplied by the square of the velocity of light,
showed that very small amounts of mass may be
converted into a very large amount of energy and
vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact
equivalent, according to the formula mentioned
above. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and
Walton in 1932, experimentally.“
