Tinky, Pinky, Chintoo, Mintoo and Einstein

Can you prove Einstein's mass-energy equivalence wrong ? Here's a fictional account of how a class of eight year olds achieve this feat. 

Einstein writes on the board and reads aloud : E = mc²

Tinky  : " Sir, There is a mistake”

Einstein (Impressed) : “Is it so ? This is really exciting. Let us hear Tinky's view”

Tinky : “m and c are alphabets. You cannot multiply them. You can multiply only numbers.”

Pinky (shyly raises her hand) : “Uncle, one more mistake”

Tinky (haughtily) : “Not Uncle, stupid. Call him Sir”

Pinky is quiet, her eyes fill up and lips start trembling.

Einstein (hurriedly) : "You can call me Uncle. No problem. Tell me Pinky"

Pinky : "That is not a square. It is 2. Square is like this" (Draws a square on the board)

Tinky (not to be outdone) : "The 2 is written so high. Ma'am says we should write on the same line"

Einstein (smiling) : “Both of you are right. Let me explain. The letters are symbolic. m and c stand for certain values. m is for mass and c is for speed of light. Now let me get rid of the square and put it another way. So we can write E = mcc where E for energy, m for mass and s for speed of light”

Pinky(shakes her head) : “C for CAT. S for speed”

Einstein (smiling) : "Excellent , Pinky. Let me rewrite the equation. E = mss"

Chintoo (sneers) : "First he said E = mc2, now he says E = mss. He doesn't know anything"

Tinky and Pinky unite to defend Uncle Einstein and stare Chintoo down. Chintoo (mutters) : "I hate girls"

Tinky slaps Chintoo. Chintoo pulls Tinky's hair. Pinky looks appealingly at Mintoo who promptly starts hitting Chintoo. A few other boys join the fight while rest of the boys cheer. Meanwhile Tinky and Pinky sit serenely in their seats and write “E=mss” in their notebooks. Then they look at each other's notebook and write “very good”.

Einstein tries to control the boys in vain, wipes his forehead in despair and gets a brainwave. "No more equations. Let me tell you about ALIENS"

Class : "ALIENS ????"

The class quietens down immediately. All children are back to their seats, faces shining,  all eyes  and ears for Uncle Einstein. The teacher and students spend a blissful hour discussing aliens.
