You multiply the mass defect in amu by 931.5, and you get the binding energy in MeV—it’s khara simple once you remember the formula. I was explaining this just last week to my friend at the chai stall, using a page from my tattered notebook. But that number feels heavy to me; each unit of energy we calculate is a reminder of how much is packed into so little, like the rupees I save for my scooter, small amounts holding a bigger dream together.
