e=mc2 proven to be correct after 103 years



Finally, after 103 years of thorough study and experimentation of the one of the most celebrated formula in the history, the formula which was formulated by German Scientist Albert Einstein was finally proven.

The formula has been proven thanks to the joint efforts and dedication of the German, French and Hungarian physicists.

Using the mightiest supercomputers available, have set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms.

According to the conventional model of particle physics, protons and neutrons comprise smaller particles known as quarks, which in turn are bound by gluons. Read full Article.

In other words, energy and mass are equivalent, as Einstein proposed in his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905.

When I was in my high school and in my early college years, I have always heared of this formula E=MC(2) which was created by one of the most popular man in science and in history Albert Einstein. But that time, the theory of relativity in which this formula which is also interpreted as the energy and mass are equivalent was not yet proven. It takes 103 years of experimentation, research and analysis in order for this formula to be validated. Also it takes the intelligence and power of the latest supercomputers in which Einstein has never witnessed.


This proves that Albert Einstein is a phenomenal man in the field of science. His ideas is amazing that it takes more than a century for it to become a part of the reality. There are still ideas in which Einstein has been working when he is alive.

Not only that Einstein was known because of his marvelous ideas and theories in the field of physics. Also he was also one of the favorite celebrity to be made as a cartoon character. This is also the other way of knowing who Albert Einstein is.



"In light of knowledge attained, the happy achievement seems almost a matter of course, and any intelligent student can grasp it without too much trouble. But the years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alterations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand it."

-Albert Einstein
