so... just learned about mass energy equivilance.
10kg object.
e=mc^2
e=9*10^17which is insane. my mind is blown.
wiki says this:
I guess this implies some stoichiometry. Could someone give me an example of mass being conserved in a reaction like this?

Mass–energy equivalence does not imply that mass may be "converted" to energy, but it allows for matter to be converted to energy. Mass remains conserved (i.e., the quantity of mass remains constant), since it is a property of matter and also any type of energy. Energy is also conserved. In physics, mass must be differentiated from matter. Matter, when seen as certain types of particles, can be created and destroyed (as in particle annihilation or creation), but a closed system of precursors and products of such reactions, as a whole, retain both the original mass and energy throughout the reaction.
