minus-squarebitfuckerlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no? And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all?
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months ago Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it mass and energy is equivalent no? Yes. And it also still baffles us as to why rest mass and resultant mass from energy should be equivalent at all? I don’t know about this one. I’m not an expert so don’t quote he on it, but I don’t remember hearing this before.

minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoIt does, but that’s the thing: It does either way. There should be no change due to the conversion of energy to mass.
minus-squarebitfuckerlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoAhh, I see what you mean. Thanks for explaining it
