E=MC2...does it mean energy and matter are two of the same thing, energy??

Answer 1

The theory of general relativity and Special Relativity are explanations that all that exists in the universe is of one substance and one matter. It is a “Unifying Theory” In that sense it is saying exactly that. Energy and matter are two forms of the same “thing”. Matter causes space to curve evidenced by the effects we call gravity and that space and time are one continuum.

The answer to the question: “Does all that exists in the universe truly consist of different forms of one thing?” will have to wait for someone to complete the equation that Einstein began with E=M/C2.

Some String Theorists believe they are close to cracking the code but a plausible unifying theory of life the universe and everything has yet to be demonstrated mathematically.

The idea of a unifying theory is not new. Catholic Theology talks about the simplicity and unity of Gods Creation but unfortunately doesn't offer an equation for us to test.

Answer 2

Lets take a look at what you seek actually happening. The conversion of energy "electromagnetic energy" into mass happens when a high frequency photon enters near the center of an atom. This single wave forms into two separate bits of matter. One is an electron having a negative charge (due to its spin being counter-clockwise), and the other bit of matter having exactly the same features as the other, a positron. The positron is an electron in all respects except its spin is opposite the other, clockwise. The positron is also considered to be antimatter because when it meets with an electron, the two merge and form back into radiation (gamma) and the two particles are no longer mass.

Answer 3

Einstein postulated this relationship in a paper on the electrodynamics of light. He had concluded, relativistically, that light must carry momentum and, using the mass-velocity-momentum relationship, came up with E=mc^2.
A consequence of analysing simple mechanical events in a relativistic scenario is that, if energy is conserved in the interaction (as we believe it must), then every ponderous body has to have an intrinsic "energy" equal to E =Mo*C^2 where Mo is the mass measured at rest, this being an invariant term in Lorentz transformations. A corollary is that if a body exhibits a scalar invariant term in Lorentz transformations, then it has intrinsic mass and gravitates.
The release of energies contained in particle interaction fields with a resulting change in mass has since been demonstrated countless times. So there is mass associated with energy. And the relationship is E=M*C^2.
However, the precise nature of how gravity arises at an "elemental" level is still up for that Nobel prize to be awarded, so it's not possible to conclude absolutely that Mass, (ie the ability to gravitate) and "energy" are one and the same thing although I understand that basically, this is how mass is treated in most attempts at Quantum Gravity.

Answer 4

Yup.

The basic guideline for Theory of Relativity is that Einstein thought that Matter is a form of frozen energy and this equation was used to calculate the amount of energy frozen in a matter state.

Answer 5

This is the relation discovered by Einstien It says that energy can b converted into mass hence enery is related with matter

Answer 6

Matters are made up of energies. These energies are small strings which make up the quarks of the protons and neutrons.

Answer 7

Yes. It means that energy can be converted to matter and matter to energy.

Answer 8

you are able to convert to and fro, yet they are actually not the comparable. in keeping with hazard the perfect way of finding at it extremely is to contemplate them distinctive states of the comparable ingredient - like water and steam. a minimum of it quite is the way it extremely is now. in the singularity it is hypothesized to precede the huge Bang, they in all probability have been the comparable ingredient. Extending my analogy, till the positioned up-huge-bang strengthen allowed each and every thing to quiet down and "condense," each and every thing replaced into like plasma.

Answer 9

nope...since M and E have vastly different property...the equation simply means that energy can be converted to mass and vice versa

Answer 10

No, its the value of the energy relessed.
