I had read somewhere that the equation which Einstein stated as..
e = (m) x (c)^2
has been changed.. and the new equation states that..
e = (delta t) x (c)^2
where "delta t" is the amount of transverse electromagnetic waves.. does anyone has more details of it..

The Equation E= mass x final velocity of light square was developped and published by Physisit Henri Point Carre in 1900 .Five years before Einstein's Publication of a formula which he called E=mc^2 was not changed by Einstein.
It should have been changed . The correct formula would have been E= 4 x M x C^2.
Note Light is neither magnetic nor electric.
Einstein refered to light as being particle(see photoelectric effect) very similar to what Newton refered to light as.
I made an experiment recently by shining a laser beam and applying a magnetic field =results light did not respond to the magnetic field. The same applied to an electric field.
So it was concluded that light is not electromagnetic.
So how does the electromagnetic wave fits in in terms of light is basilly a leap of faith based on speculation. I hope this will open some of your understanding about E= mC^2, and about transverse Energy waves.

of course the equation is same even you write it that way becoz the transverse wave the "delta" representing the electric field in the electromagnetic wave and we can call it as "light".I could say that equation as got changed in the sense literally but not in physical sense i am dam sure of it! and even scientists believing that there would of no clue of any theory that would prove this equation as wrong!That out of the question!in the "delta" representation we always consider the electric field in the electromagnetic wave and even in other cases also it is the same we have to consider.I hope you got it!have anice day!

Actually the form we are familar with is an alteration of the original formula. The original formula and still more correct formula is mass defect squared = Energy squared / speed of light in vac to the 4th -or- (m^2)=(E^2)/(c^4). It has to do with a lot of other equations depending on mass being squared and using time and velocity light to the 4th, It also allows for fewer matrixes to be needed in some of the more complicated calculations.
