Abstract (English): A thorough scrutiny of Einstein’s derivation of the mass–energy equivalence (MEE) equation reveals that the MEE equation derivation is based on conceptually as well as mathematically incorrect concepts. The mistaken application of the Lorentz transformation factor, which has now been conclusively proven to be incorrect, as an indispensable mathematical tool has been shown to be crucial. A critical review of the purported interconversions between mass and energy that the MEE principle asserts conclusively proves that the occurrence of such interconversions could take place only through violating the well-established laws of nature—the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass. The theory has also been shown to not be in conformity with the principle of causality. A thorough analysis of the conceptual foundation of E ¼ mc² yields a host of conflicting and self-contradictory consequences, providing convincing evidence that E ¼ mc² is not the correct equation. It is concluded that the MEE equation cannot be justified to be correct by any physical reasonings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Un examen approfondi de la derivation d’Einstein de l’equation d’equivalence masse- energie (MEE) reve`le que la derivation de l’equation MEE est basee sur des concepts conceptuellement et mathematiquement incorrects. L’application erronee du facteur de transformation de Lorentz, dont il a maintenant ete prouve de manie`re concluante qu’elle etait incorrecte, en tant qu’outil mathematique indispensable, s’est revelee ^etre l’outil crucial. Un examen critique des pretendues interconversions entre la masse et l’energie affirmees par le principe MEE prouve de manie`re concluante que l’apparition de telles interconversions ne pourrait avoir lieu qu’en violant les lois bien etablies de la nature—la loi de conservation de l’energie et la loi de conservation de la masse. Il a egalement ete demontre que cette theorie n’est pas conforme au principe de causalite. Une analyse approfondie du fondement conceptuel de E 5 mc² produitune multitude de consequences contradictoires et contradictoires et fournit une preuve convaincante que E 5 mc2 n’est pas la bonne equation. On conclut que l’equation MEE ne peut pas ^etre justifiee comme etant correcte par des raisonnements physiques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
