Testing Einstein's E=mc2 in outer space
(Phys.org)—University of Arizona physicist Andrei Lebed has stirred the physics community with an intriguing idea yet to be tested experimentally: The world's most iconic equation, Albert Einstein's E=mc2, may be correct or not depending on where you are in space.
This equivalence principle between the inertial and gravitational masses, introduced in classical physics by Galileo Galilei and in modern physics by Albert Einstein, has been confirmed with a very high level of accuracy. "But my calculations show that beyond a certain probability, there is a very small but real chance the equation breaks down for a gravitational mass," Lebed said.
In the meantime, Lebed has invited his peers to evaluate his calculations and suggested an experiment to test his conclusions, which he published in the world's largest collection of preprints at Cornell University Library (see More Info).

I’m not sure how exactly they were able to construct these magnets; but they are either Negatively polarized or positively polarized. When placing a negative and positive bowl near near each other in the chamber, a very peculiar effect happens with the plasma. Most of the plasma in the chamber collects in the space between the bowls. It rotates at a high rate of speed and streamers of plasma are ejected from the holes in the bottom of the bowl shaped magnets.
Oh sure, you beat Einstein. You're way smarter than him and anyone who credits his work because you found a YouTube video that claims to disprove everything he did, and gee whiz the rest of us are all idiots because you found a snake oil salesman on YouTube. Wow...

I figured you would say that... how was his equation proven right? a reply to: OccamsRazor04

Even the weird wacky things Einstein thought would be proven wrong ... have been proven right, such as spooky action at a distance.
In physics, action at a distance is the concept that an object can be moved, changed, or otherwise affected without being physically touched by another object. That is, it is the nonlocal interaction of objects that are separated in space.
This term was used most often in the context of early theories of gravity and electromagnetism to describe how an object responds to the influence of distant objects. More generally "action at a distance" describes the failure of early atomistic and mechanistic theories which sought to reduce all physical interaction to collision. The exploration and resolution of this problematic phenomenon led to significant developments in physics, from the concept of a field, to descriptions of quantum entanglement and the mediator particles of the Standard Model

I figured you would say that, too. Can you please elaborate on your point? Or at least give me a 54 minute explanation.

Now, explain exactly how spooky action at a distance works.
He couldn't.
Are we there yet?

What about a 51 minute explanation, or is that mean it's incorrect?

You don't find it incredible that he theorized things 90 years ago that we are only able to start proving now? Why does it matter if he was able to describe every single detail, the fact he was able to think of something like that at all is simply amazing.

I think Einstein was an amazing person when one considers the period in which he worked. That's not neither here nor there.
Predicting something then theorizing why it happens the way it does is a good start which has pushed us closer to the end zone and goal post. However, even Einstein as some modern great minds have expressed wasn't exactly 100% accurate. I don't agree with the OPs video's logic. But, even though Einstein took us in a whole new direction which has advanced our understanding still needs to be put into context and expanded upon while acknowledging his theory's shortcomings.

Your science is using monopoles (the magnetic "bowls" either negative or positive)
This has not been verified yet, too.

So you are quoting someone who can´t differ between electric charges and the poles of magnets? By the way, this sound just like what they are trying with ITER. Containing a plasma in an electromagnetic field. Also, this is how they contain dark matter, the matter you dismissed with your very first sentence.
