This e=mc² again, I read many places not even Modern Science really know 
where it is coming from, not how come. Empirically that equivalence cannot 
possibly be tested nearly in any way. It is simple impossible to test it. 
Thus, even though it probably makes sense deriving stuff under other 
circumstances, it is impossible to test. 

As always, excellent educative post, Dr. Pentcho. We need more good souls 
like you around here. Sincerely.
