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." Matter and aether are different states of the same material. In terms of E=mc^2, Energy is the physical effect matter transitioning to aether has on the neighboring matter and aether. The mass does not 'convert' to energy.
From: spudnik on 7 Apr 2010 15:05 well, you can't rely on every thing that you read in a Wiki, either. that is just silly; when two quanta of hydrogen are fuzed to make one of helium, some of the matter is "converted" into energy. when one combines a quantum of hydrogen and one of antihydrogen, ideally, all of the matter converts. aether is just mental fluff around electromagnetism! > 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.

From: spudnik on 7 Apr 2010 15:08 NB: the equation, E=mcc, may not be in the best form, regarding "dimensional analysis;" but, that's just algebra. thus: well, you can't rely on every thing that you read in a Wiki, either. that is just silly; when two quanta of hydrogen are fuzed to make one of helium, some of the matter is "converted" into energy. when one combines a quantum of hydrogen and one of antihydrogen, ideally, all of the matter converts. aether is just mental fluff around electromagnetism! > "The equation E = mc2 indicates that energy always exhibits mass in > whatever form the energy takes.
