Einstein: energy changes the inertia of a body

Connected an emitted amount of light energy to a corresponding loss of a body's mass, establishing the mass–energy relationship in a separate short paper.

What is recorded here?

Connected an emitted amount of light energy to a corresponding loss of a body's mass, establishing the mass–energy relationship in a separate short paper.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

This is the September 1905 radiation argument, distinct from the June electrodynamics paper. It does not credit Einstein with later nuclear experiments or devices. The English edition modernizes notation; the original argument is not a general modern textbook derivation.

Read the original work

This English explanation is an editorial reading view. It does not replace the complete original work or certify its science.
