Chapter 30: Why Do You Keep Doing This To Me
The presentation of Einstein’s Mass-Energy Equivalence, commonly known as ‘E=mc²’, occurred about 1905 A.D.
Whenever I went around the capital, it would hit me how the civilization of the Empire was that of the early twentieth century by Earth’s standards. The progress of math and magic theories was also just about that level.
[■ Research complete : Magic Element-Energy Convertibility Theorem]
It wasn’t my ability that brought about the proving of this theorem this quickly. All I did was look at a prior research done by someone else and overlay an idea on top of it.
The exchange of mass and energy was a well-known fact in current physics.
The ‘Magic Element-Energy Convertibility Theorem’ implied that element and energy could be converted to one another. Energy became element, and element reverted back to energy.
In other words, after mass turned into energy, it was possible for that energy to change into an element.
The bottom line was that magic elements were exchangeable with mass. The loss of mass, which was a key process in nuclear fission or fusion, was the equivalent of loss of elements in this world. And since loss of mass and elements occurred simultaneously, the yield of a nuclear explosion could possibly be higher than in my original world.
It wasn’t a bad outcome. There needed to be that much explosive power to go up against a Cataclysm.
With the first step to preventing world destruction having been completed, sleep came over me. Lotte was already under the covers and off to dreamland. I fiddled with the two silver coins she gave me and let out a hum.
