The Question of E = mc2 and Einstein’s General Relativity
C. Y. Lo
ABSTRACT
The formula E = mc2 is a
speculation that was confirmed by Nuclear fission and fusion, but is not valid
for the electromagnetic energy alone because the electromagnetic energy-stress
tensor is traceless. On the other hand, for the light rays satisfying E = mc2 necessitates the existence of a photonic tensor with an anti-gravity coupling
added to the Einstein equation with the source of an electromagnetic wave.
Moreover, because the couplings in the Einstein equation must have different
signs for the dynamic case that involves gravitational waves, the space-time
singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose actually are irrelevant to physics.
The misinterpretation of E = mc2 as generally valid, is responsible
for overlooking the charge-mass interaction in the Reissner-Nordstrom metric for more
than 80 years. General validity of E = mc2 is also in disagreement
with experiments.
Key words: Einstein’s Equivalence Principle; dynamic solution; gravitational wave; E = mc2.
