| | Although the equation includes the constant ''c'' which represents the theoretical speed of light in a vacuum, the equation does not address "light" per se. Light has never been unified with matter despite more than a billion-dollars-worth of attempts, and it is likely impossible to ever do so. [[Biblical Scientific Foreknowledge]] predicts that there is no unified theory of light and matter because they were created at different times, in different ways, as described in the [[Book of Genesis]]. So, most people would not expect the equation to address light. | | Although the equation includes the constant ''c'' which represents the theoretical speed of light in a vacuum, the equation does not address "light" per se.
