Units explained
MeV/c2
MeV/c^2 expresses mass through mass-energy equivalence, E = mc^2; 1 MeV/c^2 is about 1.783E-30 kg.
Derived from Einstein's mass-energy relation, convenient for particle masses.
Particle physics, where masses are stated in MeV/c^2 or GeV/c^2.
Came into use with relativistic particle physics in the 20th century.
Mace
The mace equals one-tenth of a tael, about 3.78 grams.
From the Chinese 'qian'; 'mace' is the European trade name.
Chinese and Southeast Asian gold and traditional-medicine trade.
Part of the traditional Chinese tael system.
