Read it as a cautionary tale. When physics seems incomprehensible,
one has a variety of choices, including study harder, rework from
basics, seek alternate explanations, ask an expect, etc. Making
up one's own physics should be low on that list.

This is part of my larger theory of everything found at:

Now, since most people won't bother looking at either of the links,

I'm a kookologist, so I did.

the simple explanation is that E=mc^2 because to eject a positron and
electron from empty space, you have to accellerate the hidden and
bound electron/positron to the speed of light.

Do you have a reference for that?
