Dear Elon Musk, kindly spend your wealth on resolving the dispute between Albert Einstein and Engr Musa Daji Abdullahi. Musa said E=mc2 is wrong, he said the correct equation is E=1/2mc2: Musa agrees with Einstein that speed of light is ultimate but not because the mass becomes…

Hadi Abubakar Sirika E=mc2 and E=1/2mc2 apply to different situations & have different meanings. E=mc2 shows that mass & energy are equivalent and can be transformed into each other, while E=1/2mc2 shows the energy of motion of an object moving at the speed of light in classical mechanics

Kabir Hadi Abubakar Sirika The 1/2 comes from integration. Spring energy is f*d. Force = k*x. Integrate force*dx and you get 1/2*k*x2. Same thing with capacitor energy = 1/2*c*v2, magnetic field energy density of 1/2*(1/Uo)*B2, and everything else. With 1/2*m*v2, you're integrating momentum m*v over speeds…

Dr. GWG 🇳🇬 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 Kabir Hadi Abubakar Sirika We are in the right track.
The energy of an electrical system is created from zero to E by increments dE. So the final energy is the integral: one-half E squared as you observed for energy in a capacitor inductor or elastic string.

Dr. GWG 🇳🇬 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 Kabir Hadi Abubakar Sirika In the mass-energy equivalence law the equivalence is not in any defect of mass of a charged particle but in potential energy between the charged PARTICLES COMPOSING a BODY. THE MASS OF ELECTRONS AND POSITRONS COMPOSING A BODY REMAIN CONSTANT.
