e=mc(squared)

Lioness · 12-10-2001, 01:01 PM

Wheeee!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Using this formula, I have an approximate energy of 6,567,289,400 joules. One watt is equal to one joule per second. Thus, if I were evaporated into pure energy and transformed into a lightbulb, I would remain lit for over 4,765,982 years straight! This is not exactly accurate, but close enough...now to find out if I could keep my city lit for a year...I left a message at MassElectric.

I need to get a life.

Hmmmmm.... Would Lioness happen to have been a bit bored some time today? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

e = mc^2
e = 50 * 300 000 m/s^2
e = 4500000000000 J = 4500000000 KJ = 4500000 MJ = 4500 GJ = 4.5 TJ

Always something [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have to comment on what you said Lioness.
Your total amount of energy ´wouldn't keep a bulb lit for that long time.
First, all the energy just don't keep a lightbulb lit. It is powered by electricity, but the electrons in you takes up a very small part of your mass. Less than 0.001 u I am sure.

And ofcourse, to be picky, the bulb would burn out after some time [img]smile.gif[/img]

Powering lightbulbs. What a great way to lose weight [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh, don't get a life. Through logic, I've found out that without a life, you won't grow up, nor old, you don't need to eat, nor pay your bills and dying is out of the picture too. I need someone to test the theory

Legolas, I think its called "self-experimentation".

Oh dear god... someone is having a field day with the formula.

Lioness, we prefer you as a furry Lioness not an eternal shining lightbulb. That's Reeka's job [img]tongue.gif[/img]

oh well.. my sig has joules in it... but it was used as a weapon against me!

I don't think she meant it was physically possible. She rather used the light bulbs rate of energy consumption to represent how much potential energy was in her mass, if a perfectly efficient way existed to convert her potential energy into a form usable by a perfectly efficient light bulb with perfect components that did not wear with use. In other words a perfectly impossible situation, but a neat way to practice with the formula.

Hey, whatever keeps you alive is just fine.

OOh, how'd you guess?

Now I have to figure out how much energy it takes to keep my city lit, and if I could light the city for a day, week, etc. And I'm memorizing the part of Juliet for no reason whatsoever, and reading Dante's Inferno.
