Mass does not convert to energy. Matter transitions to aether. Matter
expands in three dimensional space as it transitions to aether. Matter
increases in volume as it transitions to aether. The physical effect
this transition has on the neighboring aether and matter is energy.

There is no 'missing mass'. The mass which no longer exists as part of
the matter has converted to aether.

When you watch an atomic bomb explode you are watching the physical
effect matter expanding in volume as it transitions to aether has on
the neighboring matter and aether:

'DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT? By A.
EINSTEIN'
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf

"If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass
diminishes by L/c2."

The mass of the body does diminish, but the matter which no longer
exists as part of the body has not vanished. It still exists, as
aether. As the matter transitions to aether it expands in three
dimensions. The effect this transition has on the surrounding aether
and matter is energy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence

"The equation E = mc2 indicates that energy always exhibits mass in
whatever form the energy takes.[3] It does not imply that mass may be
“converted” to energy, for modern theory holds that neither mass nor
energy may be destroyed, but only moved from one location to another.
In physics, mass must be differentiated from matter. In cases where
matter particles are created or destroyed, the precursors and products
retain both the original mass and energy, which is unchanged. Mass–
energy equivalence also means that mass conservation becomes a
restatement of the law of energy conservation, which is the first law
of thermodynamics."

The products retain the original mass because the product is aether.

In E=mc^2, mass is conserved.

Light waves propagate through the aether.

"A possible candidate for dark energy that avoids some of the fine-
tuning problems associated with the cosmological is quintessence, a
very low-energy field with a wavelength comparable to the size of the

universe, quintessence might also manifest itself through its possible

2. the most perfect embodiment of something.
3. (in ancient and medieval philosophy) the fifth essence or element,

A low-energy field with a wavelength comparable to the size of the
known universe is aether as a one something.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.

Aether is the pure essence of matter.

"quintessence might also manifest itself through its possible
interactions with matter"

Aether interacts with matter by being displaced by matter.

The pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter manifests itself as
gravity.

Also from the article:

"If future searches for Lorentz invariance and time-dependent
fundamental constants bring positive results, they may prove that the
universe contains a long-wavelength degree of freedom and point toward
the nature of quintessence. Then the variation of fundamental
constants and apparently Lorentz-violating spin precessions might be
completely demystified: They could both follow from the conventional
physics of an interacting scalar field."

The interacting scalar field is the aether as a one something. The
aether interacts with matter through the connections between the
aether and the matter. The state of the aether as determined by its
connections with the matter and the state of the aether in neighboring
places is the aether's state of displacement.

The following image represents the aether's state of displacement as
determined by its connections with the matter. The image would be more
accurate if the grid connected to and through the Earth. This would
more accurately reflect Einstein's concept of the state of the aether
is determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the
aether in neighboring places:

"What is fundamentally new in the ether of the general theory of
relativity as opposed to the ether of Lorentz consists in this, that
the state of the former is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places,
which are amenable to law in the form of differential equations;
whereas the state of the Lorentzian ether in the absence of
electromagnetic fields is conditioned by nothing outside itself, and
is everywhere the same. The ether of the general theory of relativity
is transmuted conceptually into the ether of Lorentz if we substitute
constants for the functions of space which describe the former,
disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The cause which conditions its state is its displacement by matter.

Gravitation, the 'Dark Matter' Effect and the Fine Structure Constant
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0401047

"There we see the first arguments that indicate the logical necessity
for quantum behaviour, at both the spatial level and at the matter
level. There space is, at one of the lowest levels, a quantumfoam
system undergoing ongoing classicalisation. That model suggest that
gravity is caused by matter changing the processing rate of the
informational system that manifests as space, and as a consequence
space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter. However this is not a ‘flow’
of some form of ‘matter’ through space, as previously considered in
the aether models or in the ‘random’ particulate Le Sage kinetic
theory of gravity, rather the flow is an ongoing rearrangement of the
quantum-foam patterns that form space, and indeed only have a
geometrical description at a coarse-grained level. Then the ‘flow’ in
one region is relative only to the patterns in nearby regions, and not
relative to some a priori background geometrical space"

What is described as "space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter" is the
pressure exerted by the aether towards the matter.

"Then the ‘flow’ in one region is relative only to the patterns in
nearby regions" is the pressure exerted by the aether displaced by the
matter and the pressure associated the aether displaced by the matter
in nearby regions.

universe, quintessence might also manifest itself through its possible
interactions with matter and radiation."

"quin·tes·sence
   /kwɪnˈtɛsəns/ Show Spelled[kwin-tes-uhns] Show IPA
–noun
1. the pure and concentrated essence of a substance.
2. the most perfect embodiment of something.
3. (in ancient and medieval philosophy) the fifth essence or element,
ether, supposed to be the constituent matter of the heavenly bodies"

A low-energy field with a wavelength comparable to the size of the
known universe is aether as a one something.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.

Aether is the pure essence of matter.

"quintessence might also manifest itself through its possible
interactions with matter"

Aether interacts with matter by being displaced by matter.

The pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter manifests itself as
gravity.

Also from the article:

"If future searches for Lorentz invariance and time-dependent
fundamental constants bring positive results, they may prove that the
universe contains a long-wavelength degree of freedom and point toward
the nature of quintessence. Then the variation of fundamental
constants and apparently Lorentz-violating spin precessions might be
completely demystified: They could both follow from the conventional
physics of an interacting scalar field."

The interacting scalar field is the aether as a one something. The
aether interacts with matter through the connections between the
aether and the matter. The state of the aether as determined by its
connections with the matter and the state of the aether in neighboring
places is the aether's state of displacement.

The following image represents the aether's state of displacement as
determined by its connections with the matter. The image would be more
accurate if the grid connected to and through the Earth. This would
more accurately reflect Einstein's concept of the state of the aether
is determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the
aether in neighboring places:

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"What is fundamentally new in the ether of the general theory of
relativity as opposed to the ether of Lorentz consists in this, that
the state of the former is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places,
which are amenable to law in the form of differential equations;
whereas the state of the Lorentzian ether in the absence of
electromagnetic fields is conditioned by nothing outside itself, and
is everywhere the same. The ether of the general theory of relativity
is transmuted conceptually into the ether of Lorentz if we substitute
constants for the functions of space which describe the former,
disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The cause which conditions its state is its displacement by matter.

Gravitation, the 'Dark Matter' Effect and the Fine Structure Constant
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0401047

"There we see the first arguments that indicate the logical necessity
for quantum behaviour, at both the spatial level and at the matter
level. There space is, at one of the lowest levels, a quantumfoam
system undergoing ongoing classicalisation. That model suggest that
gravity is caused by matter changing the processing rate of the
informational system that manifests as space, and as a consequence
space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter. However this is not a ‘flow’
of some form of ‘matter’ through space, as previously considered in
the aether models or in the ‘random’ particulate Le Sage kinetic
theory of gravity, rather the flow is an ongoing rearrangement of the
quantum-foam patterns that form space, and indeed only have a
geometrical description at a coarse-grained level. Then the ‘flow’ in
one region is relative only to the patterns in nearby regions, and not
relative to some a priori background geometrical space"

What is described as "space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter" is the
pressure exerted by the aether towards the matter.

"Then the ‘flow’ in one region is relative only to the patterns in
nearby regions" is the pressure exerted by the aether displaced by the
matter and the pressure associated the aether displaced by the matter
in nearby regions.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places" -
Albert Einstein

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in nearby regions is the aether's
state of displacement.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.

'DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT? By A.
EINSTEIN'
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf

"If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass
diminishes by L/c2."

The mass of the body does diminish, but the matter which no longer
exists as part of the body has not vanished. It still exists, as
aether. As the matter transitions to aether it expands in three
dimensions. The effect this transition has on the surrounding aether
and matter is energy.

In terms of E=mc^2, energy is a change in the state of the mass.

In terms of E=mc^2, energy is a change in the aether's state of
displacement.

In terms of E=mc^2, mass is conserved.
