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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16heorrfsgY '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.

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 âflowsâ towards matter. However this is not a âflowâ of some form of âmatterâ through space, as previously considered in the aether models or in the ârandomâ 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 âflowâ 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 âflowsâ towards matter" is the pressure exerted by the aether towards the matter. "Then the âflowâ 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. |
