        When you assert that energy has units of velocity squared then you are not conveying information... - RL - 10/26/2020 10:22:45 PM
        
        And I thought that you understood mathematics.!!! - johannes - 10/28/2020 1:14:05 AM
        
        Dear Johannes - ER - 10/28/2020 1:00:47 PM

        I know very little Relativity, Special or General. - ER - 10/29/2020 3:48:40 AM
        
        E=mc^2 is actually only for the rest mass energy - RL - 10/29/2020 5:10:47 AM
        
        Quantum and Relativity were lumped in "Modern Physics" in my day. - ER - 10/29/2020 1:16:17 PM

        At least that would be something... - RL - 10/28/2020 7:01:12 AM
        
        Johannes, your 'equations' are gibberish - RL - 10/28/2020 1:25:10 AM
