-sorry 'bout that!-
if e=mc x mc then how can a space time ratio exist, i mean you have to keep in mind that the closer you get to the speed of light-ect... but if the speed of light is constant, and the speed of thought fluctuates, then... well you get the picture!!!

The formula is wrong; it is E = m x c x c. The speed of light is indeed constant. The speed of thought is not a velocity, so no further examination of the question can be done.

it is
e = m x c^2
The speed of light is constant c = 3x10^8 m.s^-1
The equation simply defines the relationship between mass and energy. In particular it is used in Nuclear physics to define energy changes associated with fission and fusion type processes. Involving fast moving low mass particles (you should be thinking wave particle theory here).
I am fairly sure the speed of thought is completely irrelevant.

Four answers, in 2 hours, that's 30 mins per answer, so what is the speed of thought?

The speed of thought in a vacuum is constant, so for your purposes, I wouldn't worry about it.

It is not E= mc * mc..it is E= m(c*c)
