I mean...if energy can not be created nor destroyed, it kind of lends to this hypothesis... ๐Ÿค”

E=mc2 is the equation for how much energy is created by destroying a given amount of mass.

No, E=mc^2^ demonstrates that mass and energy are one in the same. When converting mass to energy, nothing is being destroyed, merely changing state. As far as we are aware, the absolute destruction or removal of energy, and thereby matter, from the Universe is not possible.
