no Emc^2 is not true

e=mc^2 is true however

Ok, now that I'm done laughing my *** off... E = mc^2 is correct. It's actually a relatively (no pun intended) simple idea: all matter can be turned into energy, and vice-versa.

Proof is in the fact that when an atom of uranium is split in a fission reaction, two neutrons, and two smaller atoms are the products, along with heat. The neutrons and smaller atoms add up to a mass which is less than the original uranium atom. Where did the mass go? Look no further than the heat produced: energy can be neither created, nor destroyed.

Therefore, in this case, matter has turned into energy, which is exactly what E = mc^2 predicts.

Is it true? It is true in theory and practice has also shown it to be real as well. How is this formula derived is a better way to pose this question. It's not like they made it out of the blue. The theory of energy and matter comes from the fact that there is a wave-particle duality of matter. All matter displays the characteristics of both particle and wave. A French scientist named Louis de Broglie first proposed this hypothesis and along with this calculated what the theoretical wavelength of a given particle would be. He proposed that the wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to the particles momentum. The constant of proportionality was found to be Planck’s constant. Maxwell Plank had originally proposed that energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. Using these equations, one can correlate energy to mass of a given particle through the given particle’s theoretical wavelength.

λ=h/p=h/mv
λf=v
E=hf
E=hv/λ
E=hv/(h/mv)
E=mv^2
Erev=mc^2 (relativistic energy is equal to mass time the speed of light square since the speed of light is constant to all reference points.)

E=mc²
this implies that e is propational to mass.Mass can be converted to energy and energy can be converted to mass .This is true in case of cosmic rays in which a photon with energy and zero mass is converted to positron with mass and vice versa.
Hence it is an accurate relation

Hi George, Now bear in mind I've been out of school longer than
I would like to remember but I believe, and you can correct me,
that the equation is actually laid out E=mc2. Developed by
Albert Einstein it represents the law of relativity. Good luck
and thanks for the honor of participating. Good night to you,
sir.

Hi. So far every experiment has demonstrated that E=mc^2 to the limits of our ability to measure.

No! The formula is E = m x c x c

Where E = Energy, m = mass and c = speed of light.

Try asking someone who survived the A-bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

have you seen a nuclear explosion. the answer is yes

think about this at thanxgiving dinner, theres enough energy in all the atoms of the turkey to vaporize half the middle-east. if only i could get a turkey bomb to work. ;-)
