Is there anyone who doesn't agree with Einstein's famous mass-energy relation E=M*C*C

THere has never been an experiment to contradict E=mc^2. However, people who are working on reconciling relativity with quantum mechanics may very well be considering modifications to this equation as a way to eliminate the divergences which come about from marrying these two reluctant partners.

If you accept anything in modern physics and what it has given us, then this equation is essential. Of course, this is only the rest energy of a particle, the equation for total energy is:
E = mc^2 + K
where K is the kinetic energy. You will find this out in any decent physics text.

Who am I to dis-agree with the Great Einstein?

No I don't disagree with the equation. The theory hasn't been disproved.

I do not know.
But just curious, can you think of some situation where this equation does seem to fit or causing some confusion?
atleast till date i thought, this is one of most stable equation seeming to fit most of the observations and experiments.

There are people who disagree with it. Not many, but some. But I am not one of them.

Basically, nuclear plants work thanks to this equation...it is difficult and even stupid to disagree with this equation...
