What is a "Constant" E=MC/2

I think I can see your point of view here.

You are relating to a constsant in computer programming terms, which is a bit different from the Constant C relating to approximately 30 000 000 meters per second and never changes.

A constant is that which was a variable, but now has now a specific value of some sort.

It is indeed a constant in the form of c, when you assign it a value of some sorts. The value itself is not the constant, the constant is that of reality not of the number itself.

Does this make any sense?

Again, Interesting point. May be I did not interpret you completely, only partiallly, the first time around.

Are you saying that the speed of light could change, due to an unknown universal law or event at some time in the furture, when the conditions are favorable?

That would be a dieaster, if light had slowed considerably.

I mean the delay of an object's image reaching the retina. Then we would not be able to avoid a car when crossing the road, because it will be there before the image our vision perceives.

Well, yes:) It's known as FTL.

Your not the first person to say I needed to read your stuff 5 times, than I GOT IT!!!!.<--thank you Professor Squier. hehe

but if something is going faster than light as i agree it can..its not light...is it?

Great question...It's sometimes a wave...others a particle, not a wave or a particle since it can't be both, it must be something different. I would say it's something else.."Pure Energy a Reality Wake" comes to mind.

How do you see energy? <--not a trap..Really want to know:)

As another form of matter....energy is matter .matter is energy...every atom is or can be energy or it can form matter..energy could be matter changing its form..

very good... Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick..hehe<--does this answer you above question as well?

How many forms of energy can you recognize?

Wellbefore i answer how many, no it does not answer my question...i thought it was the relationship that the formula described and having a constant gave the other two the ability to be known when we knew one or the other..
