Prof, think about it for a second___How can you have anything real, except drawings and abstract ideas, unless it has 3D extension...? Even a sheet of the thinnest paper and ink drawing, truly has 3D extension. How could a wave be real, or have any real effect, if it be only 2D...? IMO, it can't... That's why it's always easier to see energy/waves as real matter waves, which they truly are... Just as Dave has stated, "All is matter in a void", and we, or our instruments, can see nothing but 3D extension...

What is the distinction between matter and energy?[Densities...!!!]
One is in one form mass 3 dimensional,that mass gets converted to energy 2 dimensional, the other form.[Wrong___It's always 3D. 3D matter/mass is converted through mass entropy to lesser densities of 3D matter/wave/energies___always. I can't help it if standard physics got it wrong. Look for some of the faults in the linguistics of "matter" and "energy."]
The reason for the heat is that the energy is reacting with the mass. No mass no heat.[True enough, but lesser densities of entropicized mass, is the same as what is commonly referred to as "energy."]
