Default What's the energy got to do with the speed of light?

I have a question which bothers me since long time
and maybe with your help I can find the answer at
last. Since I heard the formule E=mc^2 for the first
time it struck me that there seems to be no logical
relation between the energy contained in a mass
and the speed of *light.


How about as a "constant of integration"?


I have no difficulties to understand that the energy
contained in a mass is equivalent to that mass.


Then let c = 1. *There are units systems where that is true. *You


Seems to be wrong: Speed of light is much higher than 1.

1 is like staying still.


No. Zero is like staying still.
