You are under the illusion that c represents something other than it is. It is a *conversion* factor that is an accident of historical and arbitrary assignment of units. The relationship between meters and seconds is no more physical than the relationship between meters and miles. In a *physically* sensible system of units (so-called natural units, and you can look them up), the value of c is 1. Asking why c appears in E=mc^2 is like asking why 4pi appears in Coulomb's law or why 16.387 appears in an expression between cubic centimeters and cubic inches. It is an *arbitrary* artifact of the units we have chosen for m and for E. > > I can easily explain what C is doing there.

It's not any more magical than the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. Do you find the law of conservation of energy to be a great mystery that is unexplained until someone explains to you how potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy and vice versa? Are you under the impression that kinetic energy is conserved? Are you under the impression that potential energy is conserved? > > This is how legitimate scientists alwasy choose to answer questions > that they cannot answer -by evading the question.

The difficulty you're having is thinking that mass is conserved, and that if mass is not conserved, then there should be an explanation of why it isn't. This would be like someone thinking that the number of particles in a system should be conserved, and that if a reaction happens where there are two particles in the initial state and four particles in the final state, someone has to explain how new particles get made to account for particle number being violated. The problem is, there is no law of conservation of number of particles, and so it's foolish to claim that a changing number of particles should be a big mystery. > > No changing the subject now ....

Mass is conserved. 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. What do you think you are witnessing when you watch a video of an atomic bomb explode? You are going to answer you are watching mass convert to energy. What you are watching is 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 Aether and matter are different states of the same material. Matter is compressed aether and aether is uncompressed matter. '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.

This is a religious belief on your part, to the point where you are willing to invent ways for it to disappear so that it only LOOKS experimentally like mass is not conserved. There is no experimental evidence anywhere that mass is conserved. Making up laws of physics you think SHOULD be true is not constructive. > > Mass does not convert to energy.

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. > > > > Mass does not convert to energy. Matter transitions to aether.
