My training in physics did not prepare me for the true meaning of what I was doing either. I just plugged the numbers into the equations and it all seemed to work out. Since then I learned that energy really does not exist, and that only matter exists. Energy is a concept, a matter-motion term that mathematically attempts to combine some measurement of matter (like mass, for example) with some measurement of motion (like velocity, for example). As you know, this is extremely useful in studying and comparing various forms of the motion of matter. The main problem arises when we "objectify" such terms. We have a tendency to think of "energy" and even "motion" as "things," which they are not. Motion does not exist, it occurs. The universe, being infinite, was not created. It simply consists of matter (things) in motion. Thus if all motion stopped, the universe would disappear. It wouldn't make sense to view the universe as being filled with "energy" or "motion" without matter. Even Einstein's equation states that E=0 if m=0. To read more about The Fourth Assumption of Science, INSEPARABILITY, see p. 53-67 in TSW or Chapter 4 in TTAOS.<br /><br />BTW: Although it was never defined in my classes, here is my definition of matter: "Any object that contains yet another object." In other words, we need to assume INFINITY to understand that matter can have no partless parts <EM>ad infinitum</EM>.Glenn Borchardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394474754821945146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202092988208583550.post-61919827626392465012009-05-08T02:50:00.000-07:002009-05-08T02:50:00.000-07:00According to Einstein Theory of Relativity, E=mc^2...According to Einstein Theory of Relativity, E=mc^2. According to this relationship of Energy and Mass<br />1 kg mass of any matter is equivalent to 9 x 10^16 J of energy.<br /><br />Does it mean that, <br /><br />Mass of any matter is Condensed Form of Energy and Energy is Diffused Form of Mass of any matter ?<br /><br />A question may also arise what existed before the creation of the Universe Energy or Mass or both?a.k.satsangihttp://www.dei.ac.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202092988208583550.post-60835689232223027652009-05-07T07:14:00.000-07:002009-05-07T07:14:00.000-07:00Glenn -
