E=mc2 is derived from the equation for kinetic energy Ke = mv2. The mathematics and concepts of special and general relativity shows that the absolute maximum velocity anything can have is the speed of light. The maximum amount of energy anything can possess is simply calculated from its mass and this maximum velocity squared.

There is no sum of e=mc2, it is an equation concerning matter and energy. e=mc2 stands for: Energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared. E = M C 2
