Light Problems...
It is being said by many that Einstein was wrong. It is now being proven that 'e' is in fact not equal to 'mc squared'. What is the world coming to? When I heard of this monstrous claim, I just had to find out more about it. It is very difficult to find the exact explanation of why he is wrong. You have to put together the bits and pieces yourself and make your own sense out of it.
It would be enormously helpful if Stephen Hawking would just write another book clarifying this. His "A brief history of time" is an excellent piece of work.
From what I, as an ordinary person and not a scientist, can gather the problem is as follows:
Einstein's theory of relativity is or lets say, was based on the assumption that the speed of light in vacuum is always the same. This assumption led to the formula e=mc2, where c stands for the speed of light in vacuum.
But recent experiments have shown that the speed of light in vacuum is not constant everywhere. This disproves Einstein’s theory. For more technical or detailed explanations, you can do your own research on the net like I did. What you find here is only the barest, simplest and shortest explanation possible. Use any search engine.
I guess it will become clearer to the general public after some time. It always takes a while for scientific information to trickle its way out of elite intellectual circles and into the streets. But I am still amazed by the implications of this -Einstein was wrong!!! What is the world coming to?

Einstein never proved E=mc² .... he just derived it using complex differential equations ....
einstein has never been able to prove E=mc² right its just that no one has ever proved it wrong !
Practical verification of E=mc² has never been done its just a theoretical proof ....
And let me add that Einstein won a nobel prize for his work on photoelectric effect and not E=mc² as most people think .
Thank you...I needed some enlightment on this topic..
