Einstein's mass energy equation inadequate, claims Indian
researcher

"Although well-established, equation has to be critically
analysed & new results would definitely emerge"
Shimla - Albert Einstein's mass energy equation (E=mc2)
is inadequate as it has not been completely studied and
is only valid under special conditions, an Indian
researcher has claimed in an international paper.
Einstein considered just two light waves of equal energy
emitted in opposite directions with uniform relative
velocity, Ajay Sharma, a Shimla-based researcher who
challenged Einstein's derivation, said on Sunday.
The equation was proposed by Einstein in 1905.
His technical paper -- The mathematical derivation or
speculation of E=mc2, in Einstein's September 1905 paper,
and some peculiar experiments -- was published by Bauman
Moscow State Technical University in Moscow last month.
E=mc2 means energy is equal to mass multiplied by the
speed of light squared.
Mr. Sharma, an assistant director for education with the
Himachal Pradesh government, told IANS that Einstein's
theory has not been studied completely.
"It's only valid under special conditions of the
parameters involved, e.g. number of light waves,
magnitude of light energy, angles at which waves are
emitted and relative velocity," he said.
Einstein considered just two light waves of equal energy,
emitted in opposite directions and the relative velocity
uniform. There are numerous possibilities for the
parameters which were not considered in Einstein's 1905
derivation, said Mr. Sharma's paper.
This equation expresses the fact that mass and energy are
the same physical entity and can be changed into each
other, the paper said.
It said E=mc2 is obtained from L=mc2 by simply replacing
L by E (all energy) without derivation by Einstein. "It's
illogical," he said.
The paper said W.L. Fadner correctly pointed out that
Einstein did not mention E in the derivation.
Mr. Sharma's book, Beyond Einstein and E=mc2 published by
the Cambridge International Science Publishers, says
Einstein was not the original propounder of the theory of
relativity -- rather he took work from existing
literature and published it in 1905 in German journal
Annalen de Physik.
"Many people will be surprised that Einstein's work was
not peer reviewed before publication. The first postulate
of relativity was given by Galileo in 1632 in his book
'Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems'," the
51-year-old Mr. Sharma said.
According to him, Einstein took this opportunity to
publish the work of Galileo (1632, Principle of
Relativity), Poincare (1898, Constancy of Velocity of
Light), Lorentz (1892, Variation of Mass etc), Larmer
(1897, Time Dilation), and Fitzegerald (1889, Length
Contraction) in his own name.
Although Einstein's theory is well established, it has to
be critically analysed and the new results would
definitely emerge, a beaming Mr. Sharma added.
