Newton has stated first of all about inter conversion of mass and
energy. Einstein has derived first mathematical equation for the same.


Newton [1] has quoted in his book ?Opticks? in 1704 that
"Gross bodies and light are convertible into one another...",

[ 1 ] Sir Isaac Newton, Opticks, pp. CVX (1704; reprinted by Dover
Publications, Inc., New York, 1952).
After about 200 years Einstein [2] derived mathematical equation for
Newton?s perception i.e. ?L =?mc2 where ?L is light energy emitted
when mass ?m is annihilated and c is speed of light. It is the rarest
coincidence in between Newton?s hypothesis and Einstein?s mathematical
derivation.

[2] Einstein, A., Annalen der Physik 18, 639 (1905).
Then from ?L =?mc2 Einstein speculated ?E =?mc2

What was the speed of light 200 years ago? I doubt any value was known
or proposed.
