What is a rem?
rem is the number of radiation particles absorbed per second.
Rem stands for Rapid Electron Motion.
Rem is an '80s rock group.
A rem is the maximum exposure limit for occupational safety.

In the famous equation E = mc2, the symbols represent:
E = Einstein, m = meters, c = conversion
E= energy, m = mass, c = characteristic of the particle
E = Einstein, m = matter, c = speed of light
E = energy, m = mass, c = speed of light
