I do not agree with the E=mc2 edits. It suggests that there was something wrong with Poincare's derivation, and that Einstein's is now accepted. But that is not correct. Einstein's derivation was a crude approximation, and had errors. Maybe Planck's view is closer to the modern view, I don't know. But I don't see any justification for the current edit, and I plan to revert it. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 23:54, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

:The point has less to do with the formula itself than what it means, or how to explain it. Poincare didn't even agree with his own attempts to explain it.[[User:Pluto|Pluto]] 13:55, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
