BTW, what really is the full form of the equation E = M * C^2? I remember memorizing it for my third semester of college physics of the atom. But that has been so long ago. I'd really like for someone to post the full equation with explanation.





Total energy = m*c^2/(1-v^2/c^2)^.5

This equals the energy in the rest mass along with the (relatavistic) kinetic energy.

BTW, the initial calculation on the energy equivalent of a 1 KG squirrel (pretty fat squirrel..) is a bit off. 1 megaton = 4.2 x 10^15 Joules, thus the energy equivalent of 1 KG squirrel (two .5 KG squirrels for you purists) is about 21 megatons. (9 x 10^16 J/4.2 x 10^15 J/MT = 21.42 MT).
