skippymomo finds the weirdest stuff.
Like the homepage for MC Hawking.
A quote from the FAQ:
"Q: The song E=mc Hawking contains the line, "my power is my mass times the speed of light squared."
Even a first year physics student in high school knows that energy (not power) is mass times the speed of light squared. Power (the rate of energy) is mass times the speed of light squared, divided by time.
If the song lyric were true, time would be constant and, it goes without saying, the universe would collapse upon itself. Given that this has not occurred, the statement must be incorrect.
A: As I indicated in the above FAQ, I am not a physicist. So, if I had written the song the error could be attributed to simple ignorance. However, since MC Hawking wrote the tune there must be another explanation. Therefore, I passed this question on the MC Hawking himself. He had this to say:
Yeah. Just... yeah.

Yo! Fuck you bitch. You wanna to step to the Hawkman on physics? You're in my house now punk!
Check it, the rhyme doesn't say that power is mass times the speed of light squared, it says that my power is mass times the speed of light squared.
The song also says that, “E stands for energy, yo that's me…”. So, my power is energy motherfucker.
Therefore, the equation can be expressed thusly (where e=energy, m=mass, c=the speed of light and x=my power):
x=mc2 AND x=e THEREFORE e=mc2.
Step-off bitch! "
Yeah. Just... yeah.
