Answer:
Speed of light
Explanation:
The famous Einstein's equation is:
where
E is the energy
m is the mass
is the speed of light
In this equation, Einstein summarized the following fact: mass can be converted into energy, and the amount of energy released in such a process is given by the equation.
An example of application of this equation is the nuclear fusion process. In a nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei combine into a heavier nucleus. However, the mass of the heavier nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of the two original nuclei: some of the mass of the original nuclei has been converted into energy, accorging to the previous equation.
