French, German and Hungarian physicists have finally confirmed the equation on mass-energy equivalence more than a century after the German-born theoretical physicist unveiled his e=mc2 formula. Led by Laurent Lellouch of France's Center for Theoretical Physics, the group of physicists used some of the world's strongest supercomputers to establish the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms. Proposed in his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, Albert Einstein's e=mc2 formula shows that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa. And although the theory has only now been corroborated, that hasn't stopped it from being used frequently, perhaps most notably as the basis for building atomic weapons.

E = m c^2 was checked before in hundreds of different totally different experiments, with completely different sorts of energy variations.
If these calculations, that seem to use Quantum Chromo-Dynamics on a space time grid, come out with the right mass, it does say much more about
