Mass is inertia, period! By the so- called 'strong equivalence principle', weight... THAT! is the only actual physical observable of what is called mass. This is where the idea of 'rest mass' comes from. If you can't weigh it, or accelerate it, mass has no meaning. But, energy appears to be 'massive' in so far as it the equation 'kmv^2' seems to hold and... Einstein elevated it to an equivalence 'principle'. I have come to the realization that mass is an electromagnetic phenomena. That is to say, the fields that constitutes 'matter' will create counter EMF effects when perturbed from equilibrium. That EMF is the source of inertia, thus, by definition, 'mass'. Regards, Paul Stowe

Aether and matter are different states of the same material. The material has mass. > But, energy appears to be 'massive' in so > far as it the equation 'kmv^2' seems to hold and...

Mass is inertia, period! This is arguable. It is a working definition for a number of cases, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that this is THE definition that characterizes mass. > By the so- > called 'strong equivalence principle', weight...

But 'kmv^2' does not convey an acceleration or a weight, so this seems to fly in the face of your own definition, no? > > I have come to the realization that mass is an electromagnetic > phenomena.

So if something is proceeding at constant momentum in the absence of an electromagnetic field present, and there is a change in a gravitational field that affects this thing, the inertia that governs the acceleration response to this gravitational field is somehow electromagnetic in origin? > That EMF > is the source of inertia, thus, by definition, 'mass'. > > Regards, > > Paul Stowe

Matter displaces the aether and the aether 'displaces back'. The 'displacing back' is the pressure the aether exerts towards the matter. The pressure the aether exerts towards the matter is gravity. Maxwell's displacement current and Michelson's "aether displacement to the electric current" are also both states of the aether.
