E=mc2 is one of the most famous equations in physics, even to non-physicists. It states a relationship between energy (E), in whatever form, and mass (m). In this formula, c², the square of the speed of light in a vacuum, is the conversion factor required to formally convert from units of mass to units of energy, i.e. the energy per unit mass. In unit-specific terms, E (joules) = m (kilograms) multiplied by (299792458 m/s)2.
The equation was first published in a slightly different formulation by Albert Einstein in 1905 in one of his famous articles. He derived it as a consequence of the special theory of relativity which he had proposed the same year.

E=mc²
It stands for
Energy = mass x (the speed of light) squared

E=mc^2
which one would u like ?
1-- energy = mass * ( speed of light )^2
2--- excellence = motivation * ( confidence)^2
