"Applying the Wrong Equations and Einstein" is an article by David de Hilster published on 16 March 2019 on Beyond Mainstream.
It recounts the question a physics student put to his professor in Argentina in 1940: why apply a kinetic energy equation to radioactive decay, when decay involves no external energy and kinetic energy describes a force applied to a system from outside? The student was Ricardo Carezani, and de Hilster traces the decades of work on Autodynamics that followed from an objection which seemed innocent at the time.
