Atomic fission and atomic fusion prove him right. He was not sure at the time he developed the theory. But it's no longer an uncertainty.

When Einstein proposed the theory of relativity and E=MC2, the conversion of mass to energy could not be tested. There was no proof to the difference in the mass of matter after the ejection of energy.
It wasn't until the 1930's that the first type of antimatter was discovered and proved that entire particle pairings could convert into radiation and that the energy released and removed is equal in quantity to the mass lost, times the speed of light squared.
However, the speed of light being constant and the physical limit in momentum is only a theoretical. Experiments have been performed using laser light beams through certain prepared material in a vacuum. The "group velocity" of laser beams travelled at several hundred times the speed of light. Therefore putting much of Einstein's theory into question.
I can't prove him wrong just yet, but I have no doubt we'll discover new theories in time, gravity, matter and space manipulation one day......

i cannot prove him wrong. his equation, better known as the theory of relativity, has been used countless times by the best scientific minds of this century, alongside other physicists' equations such as Sir Isaac Newton's 2nd law.

until someone comes along with a better theory, e=mc2 will stand.
he really was quite a clever fella, you know. that's how he got the name 'einstein' (einstein).

no,e=mv^2 v=relative velocity

Yes, that is why it is the THEORY of relativity.
