It's like one of my math teacher's once said.

"If you only move half way to a wall,, you will never reach it. You will always be only half way there. "

 ;D  

I love the simplicity and clear illustration of the equation. It demonstrates nicely why "E=mc2" works so beautifully.  ;D

But the physicist will tell you that doing these "half way" steps enough times (to say 160 times) you would come to the suggested Quantum 'Graininess' of Space. At this scale you can not take steps shorter than 10-48 meters, so soon you would reach the wall.

Hi Dude.

Sorry for late reply - was busy with stuff and just had a chance to revisit the forum.
