Re: Want to prove E=mc?? University labs should try this!

Current "state of the art" weighting technology (expensive) can measure

So your ignorance of physics extends to experimental technique as well.
FYI, comparing standard kilograms can be done at present to about 10^-9,
so to microgram accuracy.

I asked ChatGPT this question:

Why, for heavens sake? To dumb to think for yourself?

But one can easily estimate orders of magnitude:
c^2 = 9x10^16 joule/kg, so at 10^-9 accuracy
you need to add 9x10^7 joules to a standard kg
for it's relativistic mass increase to be detectable.
This is about 20 kg of TNT equivalent.

So for the kiddies: don't try this at home,
(and draw your own conclusions)
