What? You must be Joe King

I would be very upset because in order to prove that formula the mass M would have to be completely anhilated or destroyed somthing a kin to a Nuclear Bomb or the reaction that taked place on the Sun. So if you can experimentally prove this kudos but at the same time Id prefer if you didnt cause a nuclear reaction inside the planets atmosphere

You're a little late. It's been shown that a large amount of energy can be obtained from a rather small amount of mass. The most history changing time this happened was at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. About the only other place to show this wold be a nuclear reactor and those are just as expensive to build; and a REAL bureaucratic nightmare.

First, this has been done.
No, I wouldn't mind, but more than a few graduate students have done this.
One could use a particle accelerator. By accelerating the particle (using an electromagnetic field, if your proving anything in physics other than Newtonian, calculus is going to come up ALOT) to a 'speed' you know, you can then weigh the mass it has gained by calculating the decrease in acceleration, or by comparing it to a similar particle put through the same testing.
I've left out some details but you have the general idea.
Not to crush a dream, please by all means prove it, or find a new way to experimentally prove it, but it has already been done.

Hasn't that already been proved many many times? Nuclear energy for example: use a particle accelerator to split Uranium and you end up with a whole lot of energy and a little less matter (which changes from uranium to plutonium in the process). So if you are planning on tested this by dropping an atomic bomb, that's probably a bad idea. However, if you are trying to figure out a nuclear power plant, go for it. Just don't blow yourself up.

Hardy har har.
Nuke-you-lar energy is nothing to toy around with. Einie's formula predicts that the energy released will be equal to the the mass of the matter converted times the speed of light, squared. That is a pretty big number. In fact, that is so big a number that my calculator gagged on it.
And you want to prove this by experiment? Here? On this planet?
Duck and cover, kids!

How do you propose to measure the energy released?
How will you measure the change in mass?
Where will you get unstable isotopes?
I won't be upset, but George Bush might. He likes to keep an eye on all "Nukular" material in the world. Expect UN sanctions

For gods sake dont use your body mass in plutionium or country may become a smouldering crater, other than that can isuggest Chernobyl as a test site?

E would be energy that's photons,horse powers,or volts.M would be mass.C would be the velocity of light.You might try making C the variable---As you accelerate to the velocity of light---It's something like F=MA.For your mass to increase photons would have to somehow turn in to electrons.

No one would be up set if you wanted to... NO one would be upset if you did...
But it is one of the most tested theories out there... It has stood up to more critisim that newtons laws.
It is one theory that should be a law, but I guess we just do not call things laws any more.

Yeah you can if you like.. but check back with me first.. I would like you to stop time at a that hietus time of pleasue if you can. Let's synchronise..... Hmmm.. That may take a few light years to attain at my age but its worth a try.
