Big Bang vs. God

Buddy I hate to burst your bubble but E=MC2 states energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared.What this means is that energy and mass are two ways of looking at the same thing.Matter is another matter altogether.[This message has been edited by sidelined, 12-11-2003]

When we accelerate an object the mass increaes correct? By way of your logic the the matter must increase as well. In other words the protons electrons etc. must increase as well,and not by a tiny factor but by the constant of proportionality of the speed of light squared! It isn't simply semantics now is it?

:ae:In post 40 from taco I was objecting to this phrase. The equation does not say that matter can originate from energy.
It does not even say that mass can originate from energy.It says mass and energy are two different ways of looking at the same thing.
In the same way as you can say a Canadian is a human being but not a human being is a Canadian so it goes for matter can originate from energy, and energy can originate from matter.
