| Re: An Idea
You're right mass=energy, but there is a distinction between mass, ( protons, neutrons, electrons ), from photons, a 2 dimensional transverse energy wave.
But the proton, for all purposes, is an eternal massive particle, and it along with the neutron and electron is the true building block of our luminious universe.
I don't know if saying everything is a form of energy helps us to understand our universe. I think classifications of the differences is an aid to our understanding of our environment.
It's like saying everything is a thing; true philosophically, but distinction helps to understand how trees are different from people, who are different from dogs, who are different from cats, etc. |
