Let's think about the Sun. Every second the Sun converts approx 600 million tons of Hydrogen into Helium through the process of nuclear fusion. The total mass of an He molecule is less than the total mass of the H atoms that were fused together to form it. Where did the missing matter go? Even after accounting for the ejected particles, the matter is still "missing" from the reaction. It was converted into energy. What is the conversion rate of matter into energy? c^2. Now, [using American standard units] 186000 * 186000 is a very big number. So, even a small amount of matter can yield a large amount of energy when the nuclear forces are involved. So, a possible better phrasing of your question may be to change "Power" to "energy".

The equation refers to the amount of energy contained in a piece of matter.
An interesting thing about is when you refer it to a time frame.
Consider: A 1 inch diameter ball bearing.
If you held it in your hand and it was turned into energy over a period of say 20 years,it would likely be warm during it's disintegration.
If you turned it into energy in a millionth of a second it would probably do major damage to the surface of the earth.

Everything is made up of charged particals. We go on the assumption that charged particals are eternal. They've always existed and always will and in the same mass quanity, just in different forms.

Different theories have different explainations for how many particles or charges or how they flow, but nonetheless the simple fact remains a positive deflects a negative and this causes spin to occur.

So all charged particles are in motion caused by the exists of space and time.

If you compress space and time to the point where motion is very confined you generate heat and other radiation, which moves outwards at the speed of light in the form of the most rudimentary which is probably the Gamma Ray.

Eventually the confined space FUSES these limited motion particles into an evolutionary other particle and more charges rudiments (gamma rays) are emitted in the process.

Why, exactly, this happens, no one knows for sure, but it is an observed phenomenon.

The fusion gets larger and large, more heat, photonic energy, gammar radiation is released and sent into other larger particles affecting them and soon you have a critical mass that explodes breaking up the larger particle into a variety of rudimentary particles that include ALL forms are small scale radiation. Gamma particles, photos (light), electrons, neutrinos, positrons all go flying outwards expeanding the mass (the Big Bang theory).

Now, motion, energy and heat are NEVER know to CEASE being.

That point is a theoritical known as 0 Kelvin and nothing has ever been found or documented to be in that state.

The more heat, the more atomic motion.

So the BIG CRUNCH (another theory) is an attempt by GRAVITY (another power source that does not fit into Quantum Field Theory --- there has been a 150 year attempt to make a UNIFIED FIELD THEORY that shows a math relationship between quantum mechanics, relativity, newtonion physics, gravity, electricty, magnetism, it's never been done, Quantum Field Theory comes the closest) to align ALL particles into a motionless mass state.

It can't be achived, because the mass which has been limited in it's motion starts generating heat due to the STALL effect and starts to generate FUSION which then counters the force of gravity on and equal basis.

The FORCE of GRAVITY can NEVER be larger than the (INVERSE) SPEED OF LIGHT.

Gravity, interacting with the nature of partical physics, generates side effects automatically, such as the presecne of gamma radiation

Gamma radiation is a key factor in fusion.

It is how the H BOMB works, except in order to create a fusion reaction we must use a FISSION trigger.

In the case of the SINGULARITY, GRAVITY provides the trigger for FISSION (gamma radiation affecting nearby atoms). We can't produce that much gravity.

This is all hypothetical you understand.

It all goes back to Newtons law, a body in motion tends to stay in motion.

Even on a small partical basis.

Electrons and protons have to, by the nature of the laws of phyics, stay in motion ONE WAY or ANOTHER

The MORE you limit their motion the more heat and small partical (quarkish) interaction occurs, developing into the rudimentary process of FUSION.

FUSION has an ultimate goal, if allowed to propegate, of generating outward motion in all directions.

So, as the GRAVITY WELL attemps to cool things down to 0 Kelvin the particals motion fights back to the point where heat starts to generate and things go from 0.0000000000001 Kelivn to 100,000 Kelvin in the matter of a few microsceconds and the result is the break up of the singularity into the FREE primordial MASS of the Universe.

The POOR singularity doesn't know what to do. It's trying hard to SLOW mass (particles of energy) down to a STANDSTILL and those particals fight back and before it knows what's happening from the central core OUTWARDS there is a TOTAL fusion (conversion of mass from smaller to larger elements) generating heat, lights, escaping gamma rays and HEATS makes things expand.

Before you know it the Singularity has gone from a few million miles in size to 186,000 miles in two seconds to 400,000 miles in 4 seconds.

The GRAVITY ceases to be centralized and becomes localized.

-E=MC2 = +E=MC2

The NEGATIVE energy of GRAVITY (MASS ATTRACTION when it reaches the SPEED OF LIGHT causes the MASS to fuse, releasing it outwards at the SPEED OF LIGHT

The SPEED OF LIGHT is always mainatined

There is NEVER a null point of NO MOTION

The motion SHIFTS from INWARD at light speed to OUTWARD at light speed

MASS changes in the process

BUT there is ALWAYS a conservation in both the NEWTONIAN sense and RELATAVISTIC sense

There can be NO such thing as TOTALLY INERT

NO SUCH THING as ABSOLUTE 0 Kelvin

Infinity is crossing that point of intersection where movement ceases to be in the YING and starts to be in the YANG

Throughout all of this the SPEED OF LIGHT always remains the same to any observer. The TOTAL MASS of the univers always remains the same to the observer. Newtonan rules of bodies in motion always remains the same.

The POWER has to go somehwere or BE CONVERTED to SOMETHING

That is a hard and fast rule of the universe.

SOMEWHERE, SOMETHING is ALWAYS moving at the speed of light NO LESS and NO MORE

At least until we actually discover a Tachyon!

you need to learn the Particles and Nuclear Physics topic in a standard collegge physics syllabus. it needs a series of calculations to explain, and of course some thoery. that E=mc^2 is actually a simplified equation.

It doesn't relate to that kind of energy (not power)

And stop asking such stupid questions.

You incredible stupid questions are just a sign you have no clue at all. Questions of that kind usually only come from nerds. So take some lessons first, and then we allmight be glad to help you further.

Because it expresses a relationship between mass and energy. You really, badly, need to take that SR course.

Rather than try to re-explain something that's already been explained a million times over:
