E=mc2


Perhaps the most famous equation known to man is E=mc2, but what does it actually mean?
The "E" in the equation is energy. The "m" is the change in mass and the "c" is the speed of light. Therefore the equation is, "Energy is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the speed of light squared." An example is an object that weighs 12 grams. The equation would be 12 x 8.98755179 x 1016. This is equal to 1,078,506,219,000,000,000 joules. That is equal to 107,850,621,900,000 kilojoules or 299,585,061 Watts.

Water

The most unusual compound known to science is water. The liquid form is denser than the solid form, and it is the only known compound that is naturally found in the three most basic states of matter. It is also made up of oxygen and hydrogen, two elements that are known to react violently. An example is that liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used to create rocket fuel. Also, water is now the basis of the celsius scale, with water freezing at roughly zero and boiling at roughly 100.
