Dear readers,
It has just been announced that the 2017 Nobel prize has been
awarded to the LIGO leaders who made the "breakthrough" detection
of gravitational waves - again validating the correctness of
Einstein's relativity theory. But some people do question such
"big" discoveries and the very quick award of the "highest"
accolade in physics. Some people don't believe in Einstein's most
famous formula : E=mc², the atomic bomb formula.
There is a an active thread in a Chinese physics forum with a full
debate (in Chinese ) on my open letter below. Most other active
physics forums will delete such a post that questions the validity
of Einstein's theory:

Open Letter To the World Physics Community: The Failure Of
Einstein's E=mc2.
Dear scientists,
For almost a hundred years, Einstein's formula E=mc² (the famous
energy mass equivalent equation) has been the cardinal equation of
physics as it introduced the concept of total energy of matter; all
dynamics involves energy of particles and matter. The author has
discovered very recently (April 2016) that the formula E=mc² is
invalid; energy is fictitious in the formula. The proof is simple
and involves no high mathematics. Any good high school students
taking physics as a subject could easily come to a definite
understanding of the analysis and decides for himself whether the
author's claim is correct; there is no need to rely on the words of
any physics professor to know if the formula E=mc² is valid or
invalid. The author has the relevant paper in his website:
The Relativistic Mechanics of E=mc2 Fails,
http://www.emc2fails.com
The short paragraphs below are sufficient to convince any physics
students that the formula E=mc² is invalid.
The formula for kinetic energy in classical Newtonian mechanics is:
KE = ½ mv²; this formula is derived from the application of
Newton's second law together with the definition of momentum
p as: p = mv; where m=mass of particle with velocity v.
Energy in classical Newtonian mechanics is based on the definition
of: work (energy) = force x distance. Newton's second law is:
Force is proportional to rate of change of momentum.
It gives force F as:
F = d/dt (mv) = m x dv/dt = ma.
This is the well known definition of force as mass times
acceleration: F=ma. The unit for force in the SI system is the
newton (symbol N); with work = force x distance, the unit for
energy is the Joule (symbol J).
On the other hand, the formula E=mc² is derived from Einstein's
special theory of relativity together with a new relativistic
definition of momentum as: p = mv/√(1-v²/c²); where m = rest mass,
c=constant speed of light.With a new definition of momentum, force
in special relativity would be different from the classical
definition of F=ma; it is now:
F = dp/dt = d/dt{mv/√(1-v²/c²)} --- (I)
As any physics students can see, equation (I) is different from the
rather simple F=ma. F=ma is the basis of the SI definition of
force, the newton N. There is no way equation (I) may be used in
any manner to define a unit of force. The truth is that special
relativity has no real unit for force; the physics community just
assumes that the equation (I), too, evaluates force in the same
classical units of Newtonian mechanics - it does not. Only in
classical Newtonian mechanics that the unit of force, the newton N,
may be used. The relativistic force as defined in equation (I)
evaluates only to a real number with no association with any real
unit of force. As force does not have a real unit, so does work and
energy in special relativity have no real units. Energy in
special relativity is only fictitious. As the formula E=mc² is
derived directly from equation (I), energy in the formula, too, is
fictitious (the only exception may be when a particle is at rest
where E=mc² may apply).
All figures of energy in relativistic physics, including high
energy particle physics, is based on the fundamental formula E=mc²;
when energy is fictitious, all of particle physics breaks down. The
European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, that operates the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has purportedly accelerated protons to
levels of energy as high as 7 TeV (tera electron-volt, 10¹²). As
the energy was computed from the formula E=mc², the figure was just
a fictitious value. The only kinetic energy formula that computes
energy in real units is the simple classical formula: KE =½ mv².
With this formula, the proton's energy within the LHC would only be
about 470 MeV (10⁶); the CERN's reported figure being overstated by
a factor of 15,000.
All of present day high energy particle physics
fails.
