Scientists prove that E does equal mc2

IT’S no longer a theory after 103 years, scientists have proved German-born genius Albert Einstein knew exactly what relativity is.

Einstein’s celebrated formula e=mc2 has finally been corroborated, thanks to a heroic computational effort by French, German and Hungarian physicists.

A brainpower consortium, led by Laurent Lellouch of France’s Centre for Theoretical Physics, used some of the world’s most powerful computers to set calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons.
