e=mc2: 103 years later, Einstein's formula is proven right that energy can be converted to mass and vice versa. This from Yahoo.com, the basic reasoning sounds solid. It's a relief after the recent news of some people rejecting the theory. It's hindsight vision but I had a feeling they would be the ones to be proven wrong. I mean...it's Einstein!! It took some complicated calculations by France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) but they are proud to say that Einstein's equation from his Special Theory of Relativity (1905) has finally been corroborated.

Yes, and it had to be corroborated by a SUPERCOMPUTER! Isn't that great. Can you imagine if someone would had told Einstein that it would take the mightiest computer in the year 2008 to tell him he was right! Would he say "Are you kidding me?" or just stick out his tongue and say " I told you so!" Ha

It is awesome that they needed a supercomputer to prove it!! LOL Although it sounds funny, I am not sure Einstein would be the type to stick out his tongue...but hey, I could be wrong! LOL It sure is funny to consider it though! He might be amazed at the supercomputers I think...Thanks for your response!:)
