Mass lost. E=mc^2 is the basis of a theorem which is used to convert mass to energy. You would be destroying the mass to create energy. And who says energy can neither be created nor destroyed?

E=mc² represents the amount of energy that matter contains. You can replace the variable c (the speed of light) with v (velocity in general) to get E=mv². C (the speed of light) is just the highest value of v (velocity). That means if you throw a baseball twice as fast, the energy required to do that is four times as much, not just twice, or, 2².

E = mc² is the rest mass equaton, where m is the rest mass and E is the energy equivalent.
In motion,
E = mc² / √(1 - v²/c²)
