E represents energy in Joules, m represents mass in kilograms and c represents the speed of light.
Let's say we have a gram of mass. By Einstein's energy equation, that gram of mass has 299,792,458 x 299,792,458 x 0.01b of energy. That works out to exactly 89,875,517,873,681.764 Joules of energy in one gram of ordinary matter.
That's 90 trillion Joules. For comparison, the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima by the United States released 60 trillion Joules of energy. However, that bomb didn't completely convert the matter into energy, it just released alot of it.
