It should be that Einstein hasn't been proven wrong.

I honestly thought this would be an article about some guy melting his skin off trying to fry a frozen turkey, thus adding more proof to Einstein's quote "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

agreed.

between this and day-to-day work in quantum mechanics the face of science is always changing...

So, it took a "brainpower consortium" to prove a lone man's theory?

Also note the article wasn't edited very well. They post it as e=mc2, which isn't technically correct. They either need to use a superscript for the 2, use the carrot symbol to denote the 2 means squared, or they need to break the equation down to make it correct in print if they can't do either of the aforementioned. These are two ways to correctly display the equation if it isn't possible to use a superscript for the 2: e=mc^2 or e=m(c*c). These are both vastly different than e=mc2.

e=mc2 is much better than one line where it was written "e-mc2".
