The [[Theory of Relativity]] has never been able to mathematically derive '''E=mc²''' from first principles, and a physicist observed in a peer-reviewed paper published in 2011 that "a rigorous proof of the mass-energy equivalence is probably beyond the purview of the special theory."<ref>[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011AmJPh..79..591H Eugene Hecht: ''How Einstein confirmed E<sub>0</sub>=mc²''], American Journal of Physics, Volume 79, Issue 6, pp. 591-600 (2011)</ref>

It has been known for a long time that radiation has a mass equivalence, which was correctly derived by [[Henri Poincare]] in 1904,<ref>http://www.opticsinfobase.org/josa/abstract.cfm?uri=josa-42-8-540</ref> but the equation '''E=mc²''' makes a claim far beyond that limited circumstance:
