What is the meaning of life?

Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating 
fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and 
live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

What does E=mc squared mean?

According to Einstein's famous equation E = mc squared, the energy (E) of a 
physical system is numerically equal to the product of its mass (m) and the 
speed of light (c) squared. It is customary to refer to this result as "the 
equivalence of mass and energy," or simply "mass-energy equivalence," because 
one can choose units in which c = 1, and hence E = m. An important 
consequence of E = mc squared is that a change in the rest-energy of a 
physical system is accompanied by a corresponding change to its inertial 
mass.  

See?  Easy!
