answer 1
OK, we know the math is wrong. We compromised mathematical integrity for visual appeal in the M=EC2 graphic. M doesn't equal EC2 it actually equals E/C2 or EC-2. The creative team apologizes for butchering the equation, and assures you that mass and energy remain equivalent in the universe.
