No, it is not! The mc^2 term and the pc term are *different* and come from different sources. You cannot say, "Well, if I make p=mc, then it looks like the mc^2 term, so p=mc must be right." It is NOT right. The two terms are *different*. There is nothing in nature that has momentum mc. Nothing. > so it seves that formula > and you cant > MAKE FOR AS NOTING RELEVANT !! > AND I SHOWED YOU THAT > > pc is dimentionally mc^2 !! No, it is not. They are both dimensionally [M][L]^2/[T]^2. However the two terms are not equal and should not be set equal to each other. Two terms have to have the same dimensions to be added together, but this does NOT mean the terms are equal. Dimensionally, KE=(1/2)mv^2 and PE(grav)=mgh and PE(elec)=q(V2-V1) are all of common dimensions, but those energies are NOT the same and cannot be set equal to each other. You CANNOT take (1/2)mv^2 = q(V2-V1) and conclude that the mass of an object is 2q(V2-V1)/v^2!! That would be STUPID. Having common dimensions does NOT make quantities equal. There is no object that has momentum mc. I cannot believe that you do not know the first thing about units. > it cant be otherwise > since it is linearliy added to the mc ^2aprtof the formula !!! > 'your formula that you broughjt tothis discussion > soyou cant bring it while you thin it served your demagogy > and overlook it > while suddenly (by my heplp ) it comes against you > to show that even momentum has mass > and it cant be turned idiotically > to 'zero mass' > it is a live and kicking nonzero mass !! > ------------- > > > in our universe.

I've already done that.

I'd be happy to point you to where YOU can find the proof. Don't ask me to cut your meat for you and put the spoon in your mouth. > it should not be difficult to do it > if it is really exist > or widely used !! It IS widely used. Books are widely used. You are among the few people in the world who simply refuse to use what other people widely use. That is YOUR problem, Porat. Overcome it. > > and in what way > it is different from rest mass > > that is differnt then rest mass > or else you are cheating !! No sir.

We all know that trying to teach porat is a complete waste of time. However, one of the main reasons I (and I think others) post replies to him is that there are people out there who CAN learn who may read these threads. Porat unwittingly plays the part of the devil's advocate, putting the position of some of those who are just starting to learn physics but don't yet get it. So the valid physics responses that I, and others, make to him are a useful lesson for other readers. So, although Porat himself is beyond hope and is one of the nastiest angriest and most dishonest people on the NG, he does serve a purpose (due to not being capable of learning) of continuing to post the 'stupid' ideas and basic questions that we can address. The other reason for me posting is not to see incorrect claims left unchallenged.

IT WILL TAKE **TIME** **AND WORK* BUT AT LAST PEOPLE WILL INTERNALIZE EVEN THAT INNOVATION !! and they will internalize the more abstract **golden rule** that NO MASS-- NO REAL PHYSICS !!! it will save mankind billions of dollars and human resources and indispensable** invaluable* - TIME!!
