Brian;
In your analogy (1/2(mcc)) you are right to the extent that a change in random motion to a uniform motion equivalent to the speed of light would produce this and thus the absolute motion value used by our mass and energy equations is actually twice the speed of light. It requires a change of 2c for the equations to function properly and for the conservation laws to work. However absolute motion is actually much greater than 2c; QM places it at about 2*10^20 m/s or 6.5*10^11 c.
Why do you keep insisting that Ether is made up of some form of particulate structure? Ether matter only changes in spatial density as EM waves. Under the proper conditions a quantity of Ether can be converted to an autonomous unit that can go on to form subatomic particles.
In one sentence you say matter is an entity that can be measured and then the very next sentence you state you can measure its mass. Mass is not a measure of the quantity of matter, it is the measurement of its resistance to change in motion (inertia).
This is the type of view that promotes false understanding of the science terminology. Thus many will say that "matter and energy are equivalent" rather than saying "mass and energy are equivalent".
