Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter
gave the film a negative review, saying that it "never surprises, goes
off in unexpected directions or throws you for a loop in the manner of
the best Pixar stories. Nor does it come close to elating through the
sheer imagination of its conceits and storytelling; Toy Story 3 ... was
the last time that happened. Mike spends his entire university career
trying to prove to himself that he's 'something special.' 'But I'm not,'
he must finally confess. And neither is the film."[63] Matt Zoller Seitz of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four stars out of four, saying it "is true to the spirit of [Monsters Inc.] and matches its tone. But it never seems content to turn over old ground."[64] Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer
gave the film three stars out of four, and said it "is cute, and funny,
and the animation, though not exactly inspired, is certainly colorful."[65] Jake Coyle of the Associated Press
gave the film three stars out of four, saying it "might not be as
gifted as some of its other movies, but sometimes it's alright to be
OK."[66]
James Berardinelli of ReelViews
gave the film three stars out of four, and wrote, "Although it falls
short of the best Pixar has brought to the screen over its long
association with Disney, it's nevertheless worth a trip to the theater,
especially for kids."[67] Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald
gave the film two stars out of five, and wrote that it "feels
half-hearted and lazy, like they weren’t even trying. At least show a
little effort, guys."[68] Jordan Hoffman of Film.com
gave the film a rating of 5.5 out of 10, saying, "This is design work
of the highest caliber and it is impossible to not enjoy simply watching
these little buggers run around. It is unfortunate, however, that the
creativity, originality and propulsive storytelling found in the
original Monsters, Inc. just didn’t matriculate with them."[69] Leonard Maltin of IndieWire
praised the animation and art direction, but wrote that he wished "the
movie was funnier and wasn’t so plot-heavy" and that "Pixar has raised
the bar for animated features so high that when they turn out a film
that’s merely good, instead of great, they have only themselves to blame
for causing critics to damn them with faint praise."[70]

Alonso Duralde of The Wrap gave the film a positive review, and wrote, "Falling squarely between the studio's classics and its decidedly lesser work, Monsters University
is a solidly average Pixar effort, one that brings laughs to the
kegger, but you'll be hard-pressed to remember it at the reunion in 10
years."[55] Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic
gave the film three and a half stars out of five and said it is "one of
those movies that has absolutely no reason to exist, but once you've
seen it, you're kind of glad it does."[56] Alan Scherstuhl of The Village Voice gave the film a positive review, saying, "Monsters University
feels not like the work of artists eager to express something but like
that of likable pros whose existence depends on getting a rise out the
kids. It's like the scares Sully and Mike spring on those sleeping
tykes: technically impressive but a job un-anchored to anything more
meaningful."[57]
Lou Lumenick of the New York Post gave the film two stars out of four and said, "The under-5 set may find it funny, though I suspect their parents will be checking their watches a lot, as I did."[58] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of five and wrote, "Both the originality and stirring emotional complexity of Monsters, Inc., with its exquisitely painful and touching parallels with the human world, are missing."[59] Rafer Guzman of Newsday gave the film three stars out of four, saying, "Monsters University has an emotional quality that its whimsical predecessor lacked. It has a happy ending, of course, but this movie also feels—in its monstery way—very real."[60] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film three stars out of four, and said it "may not be as inventive as Inc., but it's an amusing and amiable addition to Pixar's roster of animated coming-of-age stories."[61] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film three stars out of four, saying, "It may be children’s terror that powers the movie’s fictional universe, but it’s the energy of its stars that lights up Monsters University."[62]

Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News
gave the film three stars out of five, and said, "The movie is not up
to the company's highest standards, but it's certainly better than most
other kid flicks you'll see this year."[49] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two stars out of four, saying, "Monsters University, the weirdly charmless sequel to the animated 2001 Pixar hit Monsters, Inc., is no better or worse than the average (and I mean average) time-filling sequel cranked out by other animation houses."[50] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone
gave the film three stars out of four, and said, "It's all infectious
fun, despite the lack of originality. In the art of tickling funny
bones, Crystal and Goodman earn straight A's."[51] Richard Roeper
gave the film two and a half stars out of five, saying "This is a safe,
predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely
hedges its bets."[52] Trevor Johnston of Time Out
gave the film four stars out of five, writing, "It has enough of the
right stuff to haunt the imagination long after the immediate buzz of
its fluffy-furred cuteness has melted away. For a mere prequel, that's a
result."[53] Richard Corliss of Time
gave the film a positive review, saying, "This minor film with major
charms still deserves to have kids dragging their parents to the
multiplex for one more peek at the monsters in the closet. With Pixar,
familiarity breeds content."[54]
Critical response
Monsters University has received positive reviews from critics. The film has a 78% approval rating on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 174 reviews with an average rating of 6.8/10. According to that website's critical consensus, the film "doesn't scale the heights of Pixar's finest efforts, but Monsters University is still funny and thoughtful family entertainment for viewers of any age."[44] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 65 based on 41 reviews.[45]Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A−, and said it "is exactly the rebound Pixar needed after 2011's Cars 2 left some wondering if the studio had lost its magic. The delightful story of when Mike met Sulley puts those concerns to rest."[46] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four, and said, "This is not a bad movie, and to small children it will be a very good one, but it’s closer to average than one would wish from the company that gave us Up, WALL-E, The Incredibles, and the Toy Story series."[47] Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four, and said, "The artwork is accomplished, and intricate. The G-rating is genuine, without any gross-out gags. And there's none of the usual winks to the adults with tired, pop-culture references."[48]

Monsters University is the first Pixar film that used global illumination, a new lighting system introduced as part of the overhaul of the rendering system used since the first Toy Story
film. In the planning stage of the film, director of photography,
Jean-Claude Kalache, asked "What if we made these lights just work?"
Before the new system, artists had to build reflections and shadows
manually, which became increasingly complex as the models and the setups
became more technologically advanced. The new lighting system uses ray tracing,
a technique that imitates the behaviour of the light in the real world;
this automatized the process, delivered more realism, produced soft
shadows, and let the artist spend more time on models and complex
scenes—some of which contained thousands of light sources.[28][29]
For research, the filmmakers visited several colleges in the U.S., including Harvard University, Stanford University, and University of Alabama, observing college architecture, student life, Greek organizations, and the teaching methods of professors and faculty.[30][31][32] To research fraternity life, which is central to the film, many of the film's producers spent several weeks at a fraternity house.[31]

The plot of Monsters University details Mike and Sulley's first meeting, but this created a continuity error from the first film in which Mike tells Sulley that he has been jealous of his looks since the fourth grade. Director Dan Scanlon
said he had a dilemma with this line during pre-production, but he
believed it was best if Mike and Sulley meet in college because, "we
wanted to see their relationship develop when they were adults. And we
also felt like college is so much about self-discovery and figuring out
who you are." He added, "It felt like the perfect place to do this, but
we had that line. So we tried versions where they met young and then we
skipped ahead to college. And we knew we didn't want to make Monsters Elementary." Scanlon said during pre-production that, "Pete Docter, the original director, and John Lasseter ... finally
said to me, 'it's great that you're honouring that, but you have to do
what's right for the story.' So we made a tough decision to just have
them be in college and put that line aside." Scanlon also said the line
from the first film is, "an old monster expression" and "That's what
monsters always say to each other."[26][27]
A Pixar-made sequel was confirmed in 2010.[5]
The film was originally planned for release on November 16, 2012, but
the release was preponed to November 2, 2012 to avoid competition with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
On April 5, 2011, it was announced that the film's release date would
be June 21, 2013. It was the studio's fourteenth feature film.[22] On May 29, 2011, it was confirmed that the film would be a prequel and the title Monsters University was announced.
The feature was directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae.[23][24] Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Bob Peterson, and John Ratzenberger reprised their roles, and Bonnie Hunt voiced a new character. New voice cast included Dave Foley, Sean Hayes, Julia Sweeney, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Peter Sohn, Charlie Day, Joel Murray, Nathan Fillion, Aubrey Plaza, Tyler Labine, John Kransinski, Bill Hader, Bobby Moynihan, and Beth Behrs.[25] On August 12, 2011, Billy Crystal was asked about his return to the role of Mike Wazowski; he said, "I'm a little hoarse. I spent five-and-a-half hours today for our fourth session on Monsters, Inc. 2."[9]

Production
Plans for a second Monsters, Inc. film existed since 2005. Following disagreements between Disney CEO Michael Eisner and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs, Disney— which owned the rights to make sequels to all of Pixar's films up to Cars—announced that a sequel to Monsters, Inc. would be made by Circle 7 Animation, which was also working on an early draft of Toy Story 3.[19] Titled Monsters, Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise, the film would have focused on Mike and Sulley visiting the human world to give Boo a birthday present, only to find that she had moved. After getting trapped in the human world, Mike and Sulley split up after disagreeing on what to do.[20] Screenwriters Rob Muir and Bob Hilgenberg were hired to write a script for the film, and storyboarded an early draft of it.[21] However, Disney's change of management in late 2005—in which Eisner was replaced by Robert Iger—led to renewed negotiations with Pixar, and in early 2006 Disney announced it had purchased the studio. The Disney-owned sequel rights were then transferred to Pixar, leading to the cancellation of Muir and Hilgenberg's version of the film and the subsequent closure of Circle 7.[21]Cast

Back at the university, Sulley confesses to Hardscrabble that he
cheated, just as she is notified of the break-in. Realizing what
happened, Sulley enters the door to look for Mike. After finding and
reconciling with him, they try to return but they find they are trapped
in the human world because Hardscrabble has deactivated the door while
waiting for the authorities to arrive. Mike realizes that the only way
to get back into the monster world is to generate enough scream energy
to power the door from their side.
Working together, Sulley and Mike terrify the adults, generating an overwhelming amount of scream energy and allowing them to return to the lab. Their actions lead to their expulsion from the university, but the other members of Oozma Kappa are accepted into the scare program the next semester because Hardscrabble is impressed with their performance in the games. They share goodbyes and as Sulley and Mike leave, Hardscrabble tells them they are the first to have surprised her and wishes them luck for the future. Mike and Sulley begin work at Monsters, Inc. in the company mailroom under the mailroom manager, the Abominable Snowman. Working their way up through the company, the two eventually become part of the Scarer Team, thus setting the events of Monsters, Inc. in motion.

Oozma Kappa fails the first challenge, an obstacle course where the
contestants dodge harmful, glowing "urchins," but miraculously advances
when another team is disqualified for using protection gel, which
violates the Scare Games' rules. The contestants attend Roar Omega
Roar's party where the other competitors humiliate and discourage Oozma
Kappa. Mike arranges a secret visit to Monsters, Inc. to lift their
spirits, but Sulley still doubts that Mike can be a true scarer. After
the team wins the final round, Mike discovers that Sulley cheated to
improve Mike's score. Determined to prove he is capable of becoming a
scarer, Mike breaks into the school's door lab and enters a door to the
human world, but the door leads to a summer camp and he is unable to
scare a cabin full of children.
Plot
After visiting Monsters Inc.—Monstropolis' most profitable and best-known scaring company—on a school field trip, a young monster named Michael "Mike" Wazowski dreams of being a scarer when he grows up. Eleven years later, Mike is a scare major at Monsters University, where he meets his new roommate, Randall "Randy" Boggs, and a large, blue, furry monster named James P. "Sulley" Sullivan.[8][9]Mike studies hard, while the privileged Sulley—who comes from a talented family of scarers—relies on his natural scaring ability and begins to falter. At the final exam, Mike and Sulley's rivalry makes Dean Hardscrabble fail them both and drop them from the program, prompting Roar Omega Roar to remove Sulley from their team. Mike decides to prove himself by entering the Scare Games, but Oozma Kappa—the only fraternity that was removed from the program—is denied entry as they are one team member short. Seeing the competition as his ticket back into the scare program, Sulley joins and Mike reluctantly accepts.

Sejarah dan konsekuensinya
Albert Einstein menurunkan formula ini didasarkan atas pengamatannya pada tahun 1905 atas kelakuan obyek yang bergerak dengan laju mendekati laju cahaya. Kesimpulan terkenal yang ditariknya dari pengamatan ini adalah bahwa massa sebuah benda sebenarnya adalah sebuah ukuran dari kandungan energi benda tersebut. Sebaliknya, persamaan yang dimaksud mengisyaratkan bahwa semua energi yang ada dalam sistem tertutup memengaruhi massa diam dari sistem.
Rumus ini juga digunakan untuk mengukur besarnya energi yang dihasilkan dalam reaksi nuklir. Perubahan massa isotop sebelum dan sesudah reaksi nuklir diperhitungkan. Dimana jumlah massa yang hilang sesudah reaksi nuklir (Δm) dikalikan dengan kuadrat kecepatan cahaya, hasilnya sama dengan energi yang dilepaskan dalam reaksi nuklir tersebut.
,
- E = energi (J)
- m = massa (kg)
- c = kecepatan cahaya (m.s-1)
Jika energi yang dimaksud dalam persamaan di atas adalah energi diam, maka massa yang terkait adalah juga massa diam atau massa invarian.
