Just a dumb monkey question, but after nearly one hundred years... why is Einstein's Theory still a Theory and not a Law? What is it that we cannot test to prove whether E=MC2 (haven't got that little 2 on me keyboard)is true or not? It seems we base a lot of our physic knowledge on this theory but haven't proven it yet? Erm... we are 99% sure this is the truth, and we base all our knowledge in the area on it, but what happens if the Cosmic lottery hits and it ain't true? Seems like we could prove it. Kinda like the Theory of Evolution I guess (which we could prove if Mother Nature wouldna take so long to get quality in her product) [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Just a dumb monkey question from the peanut gallery.
