Exactly what part about it is wrong? The mass-energy equivalence is widely accepted in modern physics. What is wrong is the popular explanation that "mass is converted to energy" in a nuclear reaction. In fact, both mass and energy are conserved in this case.

How does Einsteins equation Emc2 support the law of conservation of energy?
If you consider mass and energy to be equivalent and interchangeable, it does not conflict with the law of conservation of energy. E=mc2 states that energy is mass and mass is energy, so it does not disprove the law of conservation of energy.
What is the relationship between energy mass and height?

What do the letters stand for in einsteins equation?
I assume you mean e = m time c squared. "e" is energy; "m" is the mass; "c" is the speed of light.
What is the relationship of Einstein's theory of relativity and energy mass equivalent?
The equivalence of mass and energy is one of the implications that arise from General Relativity.
Is the relationship between mass and momentum direct or inverse?
Mass is directly proportional to momentum since momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

What is the significance of Einsteins famous equation e mc2?
E=mc^2 states that mass and energy are interchangeable, and that a little bit of mass creates a lot of energy.
Was pi used in Einsteins formula of relativity?
No. Energy, mass and light-speed, none of which involve pi.
What is einsteins equation?
E=mc2 E= energy M= mass C= speed of light 2= squared
What does einsteins E equals mc2 explain?
This equation shows an equivalence between mass and energy. What this means in practice is that any time the energy of an object increases, its mass will also increase. This is like saying that "energy has a mass". On the other hand, mass can be considered as a special type of energy.
Where is the mass found in chemical change?
In the energy because of Einsteins equation: E=mc^2. In a chemical change, mass is converted to energy because of the loss in strong forces and weak forces in molecules.
How can you correlate mass energy and gravity in universe?
Einsteins theory of relativity can answer this. The equation is E=mC^2. This reads e equals m c squared. E is energy, m is mass and every object that has mass has a gravitational pull.
If energy has mass and mass has weight do we weigh more when we have lots of energy?
The idea is not that energy 'has' mass. The idea is that mass and energy can be directly related to one another in an equation. Also, mass does not always have weight; you can weigh a mass only when the mass is in a gravitational field. Having lots of 'energy' has no affect on your weight. The above stated answer is partly wrong because Einsteins E=MC2 equation qualitatively states that energy in reality does have mass. It is only that the speed of light is so great in term's of numerical value that any change in energy would not effectively affect your total mass. However weight is simply a force so you can not say that if my mass increases on earth i would have the same weight as on the moon for the same weight.
In the equation Emc2 what does the E stand for?
In Einsteins equation, E mc2, E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light
What were some of einsteins dicoveries?
this one i know by heart... hediscovered the theory of realitivity and the mass energy equivalence like e=mc2
What is mass potential energy?
Matter can be created from energy, and vice versa. When condensing matter from energy, that energy is stored in the mass, which can later be converted back into energy. Derived from Einsteins equation, the conversion is m=E/c^2. Conversion of a matter anti-matter reaction is 100% efficient.
