[–] randint@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Can anyone explain this pun? I don't get it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yimby@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 years ago (2 children) Einstein's most famous equation relates mass and energy: E=mc^2 . So, if you're not matter (mass), you're energy. Which, by the way, is how we make energy in fusion reactions, converting mass to energy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] randint@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago Ahh so that's what it means. I was trying to think of what sounds like "energy" and could also fit in this sentence. permalink fedilink source parent [–] waspentalive@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago Fission too. I personally have both mass (more than I want) and energy (Not as much as I would like). permalink fedilink source parent
