What does E = mc^2 actually mean?
Let's start at the very beginning, A very good place to start. When you read, you begin with A-B-C. In science, you begin with E and MC:
E, a quantitative property.
M, the mass of something there.
C, a speed as fast as light.
2, that stands for something squared.
So, if mass and light combined-
Square, and equal energy,
Then, in relative spacetime-
That will bring us back to E equals MC (squared).
That's all in a musical by Rodgers and Einstein of course.

A few days ago I watched "Einstein and Eddington", in the midst of my Tennaissance. I'm glad I discovered this film, it's really beautiful and definitely my kind.
Well, first of all I jokingly asked myself if David will ever play a non-queer charachter (actually I've already seen Broadchurch), even though I love him also for that ♡
But most importantly, I've started doing some research about sir Arthur Eddington. I did rember coming across his name during the astronomy course, but I realized that he is not as famous as he sould be, considering the discoveries he made. Thanks to his studies he helped confirm the theory of relativity, to name one.
And then I found a poem written in his memory, so touching and beautiful. I searched the author and...it's been written by Neil Gaiman! I leave here the text. There are actually two of them, the second one about his personal life and the rumors according to which he had a relationship with another man (I say rumors because I couldn't find evidences, even though their social and religious context would have make it difficult even talk about the situation, maybe hence the lack of proof):
IN TRANSIT (for Arthur Eddington) by Neil Gaiman
1.
To find the many in the one he sweated under foreign skies to see the stars behind the sun.
So space and time were now undone reality was undisguised. We found the many in the one.
There is no photograph, not one, that shows the mind behind the eyes. He saw the stars behind the sun.
Not with a sword, or knife, or gun, a simple picture severed ties. He found the many in the one.
Light bends around us. So we run, as gravity reclassifies the stars we saw behind the sun.
To see the world beyond the skies, to know the mind behind the eyes, To find the many in the one he showed us stars behind the sun.
2.
Unfucked, or anyway retiring, in the awkward sense. Retirement will never be an option. The gruff gentleman with the cap who understands what the numbers mean remembers a bicycle ride when he was younger.
The smoke of the cigarettes he does not smoke kicks at his lungs mixing with the buzz of the booze he doesn’t ever drink a convivial pint after the ride into the country gave him such a thirst. And afterwards they lay on their back in the stubble staring up at the stars. Together. All the stars
Countable as the words in a Bible, countable as the hairs on his friend’s head, all accountable, and that is why they never truly touched. The shadow of prison or disgrace perhaps moving between them like the shadow of an eclipse.
And, in another life, at another time, to see the stars behind the sun, he takes his photographs fighting the cloud cover. Becoming the thing that happened in Principe. when he proved that the German was right, that light had weight, half a year after the Armistice. A populariser, but not courting popularity.
Somewhen a boy is counting stars. Somewhen a man is photographing light. Somewhen his finger strokes the stubble on another’s cheek, and for a moment everything is relative.
You can also find a clip of him reading the poem:

Imagine💭 compressing the entire universe into a blueberry. 🫐 That's the Planck Epoch - tiny but mighty!💪🏻 A speck of unimaginable density and energy, where everything we know was squeezed into a point smaller than a proton. 🤏🏻 Swipe through this post ➡️ where we've peeled another layer of 'Big Bang Theory' !

Heavenly bodies float/swim in their orbits says Quran. What does it mean?
Scientists have discovered that there are ripples in the space. (Ripples are waves created when there's movement in water). So there's 3 things INPUT (movement), OUTPUT (ripples) and the MEDIUM (water). If heavenly bodies are the FLOATING UNITS then where is the WATER.
Yes, Quran says swimming/gliding. Now it's upon us to find the INPUT, OUTPUT, AND MEDIUMS. It's a Space-Time fabric that acts like water upon which heavenly bodies glide, just like a human swim and glide in the water. This fabric is also bent with the weight of the bodies that float. And gravitational waves are the ripples that are created due to the gliding or swimming of the heavenly bodies.
All these are according to Einstein's General Relativity Theory which Quran informed in 6th CE like this: "Allah it is He who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim (يَسْبَحُونَ float/yasbahun) along, each in its orbits (فَلَكٍۢ Falaq)",[21:33]

Albert Einstein
Born in 1879, the man that we all know as one of the most brilliant minds to have ever lived was once considered a major failure. In fact, Einstein didn’t speak until he was 4 years old. Yes, four-years old. In 1895, at the age of 16, he failed to pass the examination for entrance into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic school located in Zurich.
And while he did graduate from university, he struggled and nearly dropped out, doing very poorly during the course of his studies there. In fact, he was in such dire straits that at the time of his father’s death, he considered his son to be a major failure, which left young Einstein completely heartbroken.
After graduating, he wandered, unsure of what to do with his life. After some time, he ended up taking a job as an insurance salesman, going door to door in an attempt to sell insurance. Eventually, 2 years later, he took a job at the Patent Office as an assistant examiner, evaluating patent applications for a variety of devices.
Of course, this is the same individual who brought us the theory of relativity, with groundbreaking work done in physics and mathematics, and helped us to reach deeper understandings about how the universe works, developing several fundamentals core laws governing physics, won the Nobel Prize in 1921 and created the beginnings of quantum theory.
