E = mc2 relates to quantum mechanics rather than the theory of special relativity. Using the quantum mechanical momentum conservation law between massive particle and photon, the discussion does not need to carry out using the theory of special relativity. From quantum mechanics, we obtain the energy of photon ϵ = cμ. Assuming a photon transfers the invariant mass Δm at the speed of light c, the momentum of photon is μ = Δm × c, therefore, ϵ = μc = Δmc2. This represents the energy of photon, not the equivalence of the mass and energy.

E = mc2 relève plutôt de la mécanique quantique que de la théorie de la relativité restreinte. En se servant de la loi de la conservation du mouvement de la mécanique quantique entre une particule massive et un photon, le débat ne nécessite pas de prendre en compte la théorie de la relativité restreinte. En se basant sur la mécanique quantique on obtient ϵ = cμ pour l'énergie d'un photon. En admettant qu'un photon transporte la masse invariable Δm à la vitesse de la lumière c, le mouvement du photon est μ = Δm × c, par conséquent ϵ = cμ = Δm2. Ceci représente l'énergie du photon, non pas l'équivalence entre la masse et l'énergie.
