not a physicist though..

They said e is accelerated m, which is broadly what the equation shows.
The thing is E=mc^2 is the energy at rest, there is a more general equation for objects in motion
Not really, c^2 has the unit of velocity squared, not acceleration:
[c^2] = [(v^2/t^2)] != [(v/t^2)] = [a]
We can also choose natural units where c==1, which leads directly to e==m
I took "accelerated" to mean at a certain speed, like in the sentence "we accelerated to 1 meter per second," not acceleration itself.

and you're the one asking whether energy has mass when both are the same stuff just in different states.
