Why do I bother....?
R.L. — (archived)

Sorry RL I do not understand stationary energy that can be described as having the ability to do work.

Thats your problem, not mine... energy is energy- an electron and a positron will annihilate eachother and release energy- their relative velocities have nothing to do with that fact. An object that is at rest in one reference frame has velocity in another reference frame...

I maintain that this rest energy is internal to fundamental particles and is kinetic in nature, that is; it contains motion even though that motion can not be detected externally. I disagree with the notion that "mass is simply another form of energy" I maintain that the essence of mass is a different entity from that of energy.

Fortunately it has been shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the universe does not give a damn what you maintain...

I maintain that the fundamental essence of mass is conserved in all energy transformations.


Again, it doesnt matter what you believe WITHOUT PROOF! Electrons and positrons have mass- when they annihilate they release energy in the form of photons which are massless... ENERGY is conserved...
