Einstein’s E=mc2 Correct
Yet again, Einstein was right.
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will report in tomorrow’s (Dec. 22) issue of the journal Nature that Albert Einstein’s formula, E=mc2, is correct.
The researchers conducted what they claimed was the most precise direct test ever of the universe-ordering formula about the nature of energy and the underpinning of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. They used an instrument developed by NIST (Gaithersburg, Md.) called GAMS4 to again confirm that energy and matter are intimately related: energy (E) equals mass (m) times the square of the speed of light (c2).
GAMS4, now located at the Institut Laue Langevin (Grenoble, France), measured the angle at which gamma rays are diffracted by two identical crystals. The crystals were made of atoms separated by a known distance.
