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. However, [[Biblical Scientific Foreknowledge]] predicts a unified theory of light and matter in describing how, on the fourth day, God made the Moon (which consists of matter) out of light ([[Book of Genesis|Genesis 1:16–18]]). So, most people would not expect the equation to address light.

[[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.

[[Mass]] is a measure of an object's inertia, in other words its resistance to acceleration.  In contrast, the intrinsic [[energy]] of an object (such as an [[atom]]) is a function of electrostatic charge and other non-inertial forces, having nothing to do with gravity.  Declaring the object's energy to be a function of inertia rather than electrostatics is an absurd and impossible attempt to unify the forces of nature, contrary to the accepted view that the forces of nature have not been unified.  Scientists assert the formula E=mc&sup2; is not limited to nuclear reactions; it applies to chemical reactions and even to the energy stored in a compressed spring. <ref>http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy99/phy99140.htm</ref>

The claim that '''E=mc&sup2;''' has never yielded anything of value and it has often been used as a redefinition of &quot;[[energy]]&quot; for pseudo-scientific purposes by non-scientific journals.  Claims can be found most college websites including those of [[Baylor]] and the [[MIT]] that the equation is used in [[nuclear power]] generation and [[nuclear weapon]]s ([[nuclear fusion]] and [[nuclear fission]]) and speculations about [[antimatter]].<ref>[http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/E=mcsquared/index.html John D.
