We are taught that mass is a measure of quantity of matter. This idea always troubled me due to the fact that mass increases when an object’s velocity increases. A true measure of quantity of matter would not change with motion so mass must represent some other property of matter other than a quantity of a physical substance. By separating the mass due to velocity and calling it “Relative Mass”, science has provided a fix, but has not provided a solution.

The conservation laws states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. If we view energy as the motion of physical substance, then we must conclude that this law is valid only if motion of a physical system is a fixed constant and thus “Absolute”. We currently say that energy converts to different types of energy when in reality it is the motion of the matter that is changing from one type of motion to another.

The wave motion function of matter is what provides the degree of freedom and random motions of an object. Matter with only a wave function has no mass value. Mass comes about when quantities (quantum units of matter) acquire uniform directional motion of either linear or angular motion. Another type of uniform motion comes about when the wave function of matter acquires symmetry to form standing waves of localized matter we call particles. What we call the forces of nature are usually surrounding matter that acquire levels of harmonic wave functions relative to the particle or atomic system.

Mass now becomes the measure of the quantity of uniform motion or the measure of symmetry of a system.
