Recently I thought of an analogy that I thought might be useful for visualizing how energy and mass are equivalent. It will sound simplistic at first, but it becomes more and more powerful as you continue reading.


Say you are standing in front of a portable swimming pool that has walls 2 meters in height and to which your eye level is also exactly 2 meters high. The pool is filled with water to a height of 1.8 meters. You get four of your friends to each stand at a corner of this square pool and tell them to simultaneously drop a bowling ball into their respective corner of the pool. Each bowling ball impacts the water and sends a wave moving outwards from the point of impact towards the pools center (forget about reflections against the pool's walls and the waves that are not emitted towards the pool's center). You then notice that at the exact center of the pool all 4 waves constructively interfere with one another and create a large swell in the water level that peaks in amplitude at a height of 0.3 meters above pool sea level. Standing outside of the pool and looking straight at it with your eye level still at 2 meters in height, you observe this swell of water as rising 0.1 meters above the pools walls (pool walls = 1.8 meters high, swell = 0.3 meters high, your eye level = 2.0 meters high; so [1.8 + 0.3 - 2.0 = 0.1 meters]).

This swell, this peak is analgous to matter!! When enough waves (analogous to energy) overlap and constructively interfere to create a large enough peak amplitude ('swell') for you to observe, you see this amplitude as matter.

With this analogy in mind, picture all the material objects that you are familiar with in your everyday life as being merely comprised of several waves of ElectroMagnetic energy that constructively interfere with one another to such a great degree that their amplitude forms what you perceive to be as matter.

Good analogy or not?
What do you think?

I have "invented" about 5 companies, all of which I have my own logo designs for. I need to determine if it would be cheaper for me to purchase the necessary software to digitize the logos myself or to hire a logo designer who already has the software. Thanks in advance for your help!

Most Americans do thier own chores. Some people even hire illegals out of pity. I used to hire kids to keep them off the street. With the mentality of pro-amnesty(anti-american)illegals this is really a case of exuberent pride and slapping the hand that feeds them. They come here "expecting" work and then they have the nerve to call Americans lazy and incompetent..the people that went out of thier way(illegaly) to help a human being out and give them a job. Most of the illegals in my town are lazy and heavy drinkers. I usually have to go through 8 to 10 of them before I find a good one to work. Most Americans aren't racist or inhumane. Please don't use that as a political platform

My husband remembers reading them when he was younger, and I have searched the internet high and low but can't seem to come up with the answer. Every once in awhile I will hit a site that says something like the movie was inspired by the ride which was inspired by the book- but it never says the BOOK! I appreciate it greatly!
