| Sir Isaac Newton, and inter-conversion of mass =E2=80=93 energy (E=3Dmc2 )
Newton has stated first of all about inter conversion of mass and
light energy. Einstein has derived first mathematical equation for
the same.
Newton [1] has quoted in his book =E2=80=98Opticks=E2=80=99 in 1704 that
"Gross bodies and light are convertible into one another...",
[ 1 ] Sir Isaac Newton, Opticks, pp. CVX (1704; reprinted by Dover
Publications, Inc., New York, 1952).
After about 200 years Einstein [2] derived mathematical equation for
Newton=E2=80=99s perception i.e. =E2=88=86L =3D=E2=88=86mc2 where =E2=88=86=
L is light energy emitted
when mass =E2=88=86m is annihilated and c is speed of light. It is the rare=
st
coincidence in between Newton=E2=80=99s hypothesis and Einstein=E2=80=99s m=
athematical
derivation.
[2] Einstein, A., Annalen der Physik 18, 639 (1905).
Then from =E2=88=86L =3D=E2=88=86mc2 Einstein speculated =E2=88=86E =3D=
=E2=88=86mc2
