e, equals m, c, squared

E=MC2, which I believe, briefly states thats all matter is truly a complex form of energy. Does this mean that at my most basic I am really the same material as my chair?

[Matt R.]

Briefly, yes.

From Einstein's equations, matter (times a constant) and energy are equivalent. So you, like your chair, are energy at the most fundamental level.

[Demiparadigm]

the constant being the speed of electromagnetic waves (and light) squared.

Really all matter is made up of atoms: protons, neutrons, electrons... etc.
So on that level, yes you are made up of the same fundamental materials.

You don't need relativity to draw this conclusion.

[The once and future king]

The potential energy of any mass is E=MC2.

Times the mass by the (speed of lightxthe speed of light)

(C=celiritas)

Thats why spliting even a few atoms can lead to such big bangs.

[spacetime]

yes. we are all one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

-b +/- square root of (b2 - 4ac) / 2a and I like getting breakfast sandwiches from Manhatten Bagel.

E=mc^2 is a special case.
E=(gamma)mc^2-mc^2
where gamma is the lorentz transformation
