Actually, it is wrong if the mass is moving.
mc^2 is just the rest energy.
If it is moving, E=mc^2/(1-v^2/c^2)^(1/2)

in fact, Albert Einstein’s admired equation, E=mc², is and has been shown incorrect and that i visit describe why. Now it quite is a ordinary actuality that photons are massless, or have no relax mass, yet do produce potential (for example, thermal potential, or warmth potential, like once you to a easy bulb it quite is warm). regardless of the undeniable fact that, the equation potential potential(E)= mass(m) instances the fee of light(c) squared. If E=mc² is actual, this potential that photons does not have any potential by using fact the mass(m) could be inputted as “0”, making the potential “0” besides. regardless of the undeniable fact that, it quite is needless to say major that photons have mass. the only attainable conclusions to this could be that photons have mass, which they needless to say don’t as they could commute by using gadgets and no ordinary objets, or shown in terms of tachyons, with a mass can commute equivalent to or better than the fee of light, and that E=mc². After observing the sparkling info that the conclusions that photons have a mass is incorrect, the only attainable answer is that E=mc² is incorrect, or a minimum of has an exception.

Science is not a matter of what anyone thinks, it is a matter of what theories and ideas, including mathematical relationships can be verified experimentally. You can think that the moon is made of blue cheese, but that doesn't make it so. In this case, Einstein's relationship of energy to mass has been validated experimentally and is a unversally accepted rule.
Sadly, the best proof of this rule are nuclear explosions, whose enormous energy is released from a small amount of matter.

If that c2 means C squared, It's not strictly wrong. It's the simplified version of a larger equation.

The same ones who believe that the Earth is flat and that the Sun, planets, and stars revolve around it.

No one who understands physcics. And has ever used nuclear power. Or solar power. So probably no one, hopefully, unless they really have no clue where their energy comes from.

Hi. I do. It's E=mc^2.

I don't know. Who still thinks the world is flat?
