If we initially know c in cm/s and m in grams, we can calculate the 
energy in ergs directly from the equation.

If we want the result in Joules, we can just apply the conversion factor 
10^-7.

Alternatively, we can convert our inputs into m/s and kg, by dividing c 
by 100, and m by 1000, and get the same result.

But this only works if the exponent of c is two. For any other exponent, 
the outcome will depend on whether we convert the inputs to the 
equation, or convert the result.

This is why the dimensions have to be consistent - if they are not, then 
we arrive at an inconsistency, which tells us that the equation must be 
wrong.

In summary, a dimensionally consistent equation is not necessarily 
right, but a dimensionally inconsistent equation is definitely wrong.
