Finally, E=mc2 is proved to be correct in subatomic ranges!
French, German and Hungarian physicists collaborated to calculate the mass of protons in terms of mass of quarks etc. As mass of quarks account only for 5% of mass of protons, the remaining mass is accounted for by using this world's most famous equation, by associating it to the energy of the movements of quarks and gluons. A good proof for a great equation!
What a great idea it is to be formulated in 1905 when even protons etc. are not known. And it is valid till now for scales not even possibly conceived at that period. I always wished I were born in that period.
