The deep connection Einstein discovered between energy and mass is expressed in the equation E=mc² . Here E represents energy, m represents mass, and c² is a very large number, the square of the speed of light

E= energy
M= mass
C squared= claritos (Greek for swiftness[the speed of light in a vacuum])
Einsteins theory of relativity stating that E (energy) is equal to M (mass) multiplies by C(the speed of light)squared
the speed of light squared is about 4 quadrillion. that means there is a lot of energy in a little mass.
you can thing of mass as just condensed energy.
the theory that relativity also stated that mass and energy are not only equal but can be converted into each other(that is how an atomic bomb works)
there is a lot more on the subject but it would take too long to tell you it all.
you can check out the below link for more information

E energy = m mass, and c² the square of the speed of light
this is einstien's most famous theories

E=mc^2 is Einstein's famous mass energy relationship equation. it tells how mass is related to energy and mass and energy are inter-related.
this equation is basis of a nuclear power plant as well as atom bomb.

E = energy
M = mass
C = the speed of light
so
Energy = Mass * The Speed of Light ^ 2
It shows that energy and mass are equivalent.

Hi. It means that a huge amount of energy is stored in mass and that to make mass requires a huge amount of energy.

Jeez people. This equation doesn't relate to relativity.
It says that energy and mass are equivalent - you can turn one of them into the other through this relationship.

That's Einstein's theory of relativity or something like that.
