In 1907, [[Max Planck]] proved in his fundamental paper that the formula ''E=mc²'' is not a general law and any system submitted to an external pressure will obey a different law: its mass will be proportional to its enthalpy ''H=E+PV'', that is, ''m=H/c²''<ref name="Capria">{{cite book |author=Marco M.
