Definitely not enough to go by. 
Sorry.

I'm intrigued about daily doses of math equations.
Today's daily dose:
A derivation of Einstein's relativity equation in its simplest form!
This was the original equation that he derived:
But, if you take v to 0 because you're from the view point of a stationary observer (And you don't move), then you're left with the familiar equation of E=mc^2. Cool, huh?!

I don't know whether it's cool. 
I don't know what the letters in the equation mean. And I don't know what relativity is. But thanks for sending an equation in a handsome setting.

The law E = mc^2 basically tells you that energy and mass are equivalent. If you some of amount of mass, you could theoretically convert it into energy, which is what nuclear bombs do. E stands for "energy", m stands for mass and c stands for the speed of light. Even though nuclear bombs lose a tiny bit of mass during detonation, the speed of light is so much that when you square it, you end up generating a ton of energy which is why they're able to destroy cities in one blast.
The v in the original equation stands for the velocity, which is the velocity difference between the observer and the thing being observed. It's called "The theory of relativity" because the equation depends on the observer's speed relative to the thing being observed.

What? Oh no, I'm sensing a faulty NT inference into a possible AS person's literal writing.
I don't know if I have aspergers.
