I might just be stupid because math is not my strong suit, but it seems like the fact that metric units are able to convert between mass and energy so cleanly is astounding. Especially since the metric system was invented so long before relativity, meaning these units were obviously not designed with this in mind.
What’s am I missing here? Is it possible to write an equivalent equation for imperial units?
In: Mathematics
An equation has nothing to do with metric units, or any sort of units. The equation tells you the relation between rest energy and mass, no units. You could use any other unit system like imperial if you’d like
