    Mass has two s's. Also it is E=MC2, energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. A chap called Albert is rather famous for it, but it is actually considered inaccurate by a large group of the scientific community. There are some very interesting article on this subject, if you are interested.

    buddy de: Were you asking about the mass of an object as it approached the speed of light? I'm not looking at a textbook right now, but others can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe

    mass at speed = mass at rest/sqrt (1- (speed/c)^2), where c = speed of light
