How has e=mc2 affected you?
I have to say in complete honesty that it has never affected a day in my life. That's not true. I'm sure that if Einstein had never come up with his theory, many things would be different than they are today, I just don't know what they would be. Obviously, his theory didn't call into existence the unification of energy and matter. Energy and matter are what they are, and have their connection. Einstein didn't create it, he just pointed it out. So, how would that change things if he hadn't? I don't know . . . I have never studied the practical applications of physics, or the theories or anything. I guess I'm being affected right now by having this intense confusion building in the back of my brain . . .

Yeah, think of the headache Einstein must have felt.
I'm confused about a lot of this too and I don't really understand how Einstein came up with it. In some ways it seems like it's not a part of our lives, but when you think that nuclear weapons or nuclear power wouldn't exist without this knowledge, then it affects the whole world in a real way.
