another lie:

it is part of your formula with

E ^2 =mc^2 ^2 plus (pc)^2 !!
so it seves that formula
and you cant
MAKE FOR AS NOTING RELEVANT !!
AND I SHOWED YOU THAT

pc is dimentionally mc^2 !!
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 !!

dont hand wave
just show us a specific example
in which there is
'circumstantial' mass
and in what specific circumstances ??!--
that is different by anything from rest mass!??

or more than one circumstance
that was used by somebody else
than you !!
dont send me to text books
just bring here examples
it should not be difficult to do it
if it is really exist
or widely used !!

and in what way
it is different from rest mass


that is differnt then rest mass
or else you are cheating !!

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.

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.

I've already done that. Reread what I wrote.

If you want proof of other people using these, then you need to go to
THEIR writings. 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 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.

No sir. You do not get your way by whining, wheedling, cajoling,
daring, or taunting. Suck it up and do it.

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.

waht you said above is quite ok
now th emoment you agfree
that even non rest mass
has mass thatis not zero
YOU DID A GEATE STEP TWARDS ME!!
now let me tell you the aime of myabove
po post:

IT IS TO MAKE THE NEW UNPRECEDENTD FORWARDS STEP
AND UNDERSTANDING THAT

THERE IS JSUTONE KIND OF MASS !!
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!!
(for instance the huge waist on
'massless' physical entities etc etc !!)

Dear PD !!
you told me
and i told you !! (:-)
now let others to think about it !!!

because it seems that a debate can * never* be decided just between
two peole
and just at once
sometimes Time must do its' work' as well !!
(you cant consider say Artful &Co.!! as 'people ' (:-)

yet the last thing i would like is to see

that someone else(crooks ) (say people like Artful ..) some day will
take all my credits
