If you can't even get the question right then I doubt you will understand the answer.
Yes. E does equal MC squared.

As far as it goes absolutely !
Two parts of it have been verified by experience and scientific observation. Atom bomb boom ... and the fact that light from a known star was bent by the suns gravity ... we witnessed it during a solar eclipse ... the star was directly behind the sun ... but we saw its light because the suns gravity bent it just like Einstein said.
But there are many more theory's to come before we humans really understand the nature of our own reality.
We are still learning.

before telling it is true or not, we should know the truth. As far as I know, the truth is unknown to us all.
So the next thing we can do is to tell whether or not this fits experimental data. And I guess people answering your question is far from making that kind of experiments.
What I can tell you from sure is that this is not the first time I see E=mC¨2 and that many people think it works!

Yes!
Energy is mass and vise wersa. All matter is energy in that matter is simply a different manifestation of energy.
The full equation is E=mc^2/(1-v^2/c^2)

E=mc^2.
If it wasn't true all those people working at the nuclear power plant up the road are just kidding themselves.

Within the parameters of Einstein's understanding at that particular moment in space and time then yes. Within a greater understanding of where we are going and why we are going there then, no, it is only correct within a limited understanding.

No it is not Einstein himself said that it was 100% wrong. you cannot take a piece of mass and say the energy or potential energy of that mass is its mass times the speed of light squared. What he was working on was a unified field theory which basically say that energy equals a spherical harmonic times the speed of light squared. what that spherical harmonic is would open the gate of science because it would unify or unite everything into one formula.

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

yes it's true. Energy = mass X the speed of light squared.

as far as we buy into the current scientific paradigm, then it seems to be true. But perhaps future knowledge and discovery will come about that proves it to be less than true. Such as what happened with newtonian mechanics.
