one who want to discuss the issue. So what is mass?

The reason you can not define mass is that you would need everythin'
to be in the same place and have the same eternal weight when some
bird was suspiciously talkin' down the phone at u and u are saying,
'Yes, dear, I am on the way home!'

Anyway, I hope the science and maths people will stay or visit here:
they obiously need a more general place.

Mitch, I am going to take you seriously and hopw that I don't regret
it later.

The best definitions of physical quantities include how you measure
them. So take a large book in one hand and a small piece of paper in
the other. Now shake them both back and forth. You will feel that it
is harder for you to shake the book than to shake the paper. That, by
definition, is because the book has greater mass than the paper.

(That works even when you are in zero gravity. If you are near a
large body like the earth, you find another effect of mass. It weighs
something. But that is another whole story.)

That is the root idea. Quantify it and develop a way to put it into
numbers and there you have your definition. It gets tricky when you
want to measure the mass of light or the mass of the earth, but those
are just engineering details.

I can define it in terms of length and time (via a pendulum in a
rotating environment, without gravity). The three units (mass,
length, and time) form a complete set.

That is incorrect. Only in certain special cases are mass and energy
directly proportional. Even then they are merely proportional. That
doesn't mean that they are the same thing.

This is explained in the article
"On the inertial mass concept in special and general relativity," by
Mendal Sachs, Foundations of Physics Letters, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1988.
------------------------
Since these are two entirely different concepts, energy cannot be said
to be "equivalent to" mass. It was pointed out further in the earlier
paper that in relativity theory, energy and mass also cannot be
considered equivalent, because there are domains where energy is not
even defined, as in the global extension to general relativity, where
there are no conservation laws, yet where the concept of inertial mass
remains. Thus, rather than saying that mass is equivalent to energy,
one should say that once one has iin hand the (expectation value of
the) inertial mass of matter in the local domain, then one way to
determine its potential to do work, i.e. its internal energy, by using
the formula from special relativity.
------------------------

Energy itself is an undefined quantity anyway. See

What nonsense. Stop trying to confuse things with such a poor atttempt
at humor/sarcasm. That's a different sense of the term mass. In fact
the term "mass" from physics derives from the term "mass" from the
Catholic church.

Einstein's definition below is in the correct and very appropriate . Except we define it further, We call it maximally compacted mass energy by proportion , i.e mass squared[conal squared] equals energy.

We have the equation for the "square of mass" but we are reluctant to say it lest we are ridiculed and called names, unless you understand this new inverse 19 mathematics . Respectfully understand this that "Maximum absolute speed is power" and is the absolute compaction of dimension" that is maximal energy and we define that as "Static Aether". You "Mitch"[or who quoted Einstein] want to join us in developing this new math , give an "indication that you are open minded" and willing to give up some of the present mathematical dogma to join us. You seem to have a keen understanding and very clear focus.

" Speed seeks the least dimension" !Understand that brother , then you understand me, inverse 19. And what is the least dimension?, we have defined that.

As mass is units of time over length squared, then the complete set is
length and time. The thermal energy argument is the best 'definition'
yet, but is not complete, as it says what constitutes mass but does
not define it.

Just for fun, here is how you measure the mass of a photon and of the
earth, since I brought it up.

A photon is always moving; it doesn't have rest mass. But it does
have momentum. You can measure its momentum (in principle) by
bouncing it off a mirror and measuring the reaction momentum given to
the mirror. Divide the momentum of the mirror by 2c (the 2 because of
the bounce) and you have the relativistic mass of the photon, although
some say that relativistic mass is an outdated term.

The answer for a photon of frequency f is that the energy is E = h*f,
where h is Planck's constant; its momentum is E/c; and its (rel.)
mass is E/c^2.

The only practical way to measure the mass of the earth is through its
gravitational mass, which equals the inertial mass to very high
accuracy. So (1) measure how much two 1-kg steel spheres attract each
other gravitationally. (Mr. Cavendish did it first.) Then (2)measure
how much the earth attracts one of the spheres. The ratio of the
forces times the square of the ratio of the distances between centers
in each case is how many kilograms is the mass of the earth.

Uncle Ben
(probably talking to myself, but that's fun too.)

He wasn't asking about how the mass of a photon is defined. He was
asking what the mass forumlat m = gamma*m_0 is when v = c.

The mass of a photon is *defined( as the magnitude of the momentum of
the photon divided by the speed of light, i.e. m = p/v = p/c.

at least I got to level 2. I challenge anyone here to do that.

still, at least those of you who do not indulge in the scientifically
received rehearsel of the universal facts decreed by the physical
establishment are doing better than E. did.

he didn't have the slightest understanding of the metaphysical
subject/object related limitations to human perception and understanding,
and still he made it central to his relativity theory.

completely flawed alass, relativity is a subject/object mash, resulting in a
completely circular argument as to the constellation of the universe, a
genius mathematical dreamworld that is for ever impossible to either refute
or prove.

my guess is he actually meant Einstein = mc^2

John has no clue about this either. This is his standard argument
when he does not understand something. He was claiming this for
the KE formula as well.

-----------------
if you claime that the BB is contradicting conservation of mass
you assune that it was the beginning
of Universe
but you have no prove for that

there is another possibility
that before BB the univesre
was not a satrt point
but rather
it was big and then contarcted
and then again blowing outwards

in that case there is no problem of conservation of energy
because the fall inwards contained
previous kinetic energy
and the BB was a collision
bwtween inward movement
and then immediately outward movement (momentum conservation
collision !!! )

Proca's equations are the Maxwell equation analog for massive photons.
Were photons shown to be massive with several repeated experiments
with a several standard deviation strong claim, a Nobel in physics
would be quickly awarded and theory wouldn't skip too much of a beat.

We'd move over the Proca and the associated covariant and quantized
modifications thereof, and call it a day. And nobody would even
remember your years of ignorant and incoherent shrieking.

following very famous physics articles?

yourelate the gamma to themass right??!!

now jasut notice betweenme and you and your books
i put it

F/Gamma = mc^2
have i the right to write it that way::????

now please note the big physical difference
a huge difference
in my presentation
MASS REMAINS CONSTANT !!
it is a completely a physical difference
and a completely different understanding of the physical
phenomenon !! :
while adding velocity to the mass
itis not mass that inflates--
it is the GROWING NEED TO ADD
MORE FORCE !!
is that written in your text books anywhere ???
therefore i say
no relativistic mass and no schmelativistic mass
JUST ONE KIND OF MASS!!
noone hastheright to invent
any Sunday and Friday
a new **ad hock** mass
in order to explain his crippled understanding of physics

and in addition to the above
i suggested
the smallest photon mass
to be

E photon Min =h/c^2 times 1/Time unit

that is as well unprecedented
and
th e experimental measurments
are not very far from that
anyway
that is a suggestion
and i claim that
there is a top and bottom limit
to photon mass
is it an old claim ???

*
i claim:
NO MASS NO REAL PHYSICS !
di dyou saw that in one of your books
or papers ?!
and i go on with a prediction:
since the above new physics rule:

the is no Virtual photons
there is no Higgs photons
withand without mass shell
and therefore
Higgs bosons and alike
**will never be found*!!
(based on the above climes)
do you have it in your books or laboratories that waist billions
on that physics nonsense ????)

and last but not least
do you have something like my
Circlon'
in your books ??
now i have a prediction that i alredt mentioned inthis ng

in those experiments
they will find
a very basic aprticle that moves in a circular path
in a way that is untill now
is unexplained .

i called it
the Circlon
(those circular trails might be
**a package of a great number of those
Circlons !!**
is that as well in your books ??

The property of matter that gives it momentum when moving at some velocity.

Mass is the location of a pole in a propagator.

Their mass can't come from their motion. They would all have a mass
proportional to C.

Just because there are things called "rest mass" and "relativistic
mass" it doesn't mean that these are two different masses. They are
the same thing. The only difference is that rest mass is the value of
relativistic mass when v = 0. Claiming otherwise is like saying "car
in motion" and "car at rest" are two different cars.

You can claim it all you want to but you haven't logically justified
it.

Don't just claim it. Nobody is interested in what you believe. Prove

Not in this case. Weight and mass can be used synonymously when there
is a one-to-one correspondence between the two. Weight W usually
refers to the force exerted on a scale on earth by the body of mass M
on the scale. In that case W = Mg. Therefore when one knows one the
other is determined. If I say that I weigh 195 lbs then my mass can be
determined from that fact since it has a very specific meaning.

Light's speed is a constant. Therefore all light would have the same
kinetic energy. Its kinetic energy would always be a constant.

Please prove otherwise.

C is a constant. It would be the same kinetic energy for all light
then.

No wonder you've been so hated for so long.

Burt stated no case. You do below.

The subject is "define mass"

Sheeesh! A typical crackpot response from yet another newsgroup
flamer. I already **did* define it. Had you taken the time to ask I
would have pointed you to the first post I made in this thread. I
defined mass in this article --- http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0687

If you're going to post a comment please clarify the context. This
statement means nothing since it has no context.

m = p/c. While c is invariant, p is not.

Light has a kinetic energy constant if it gets its energy from motion.

Sheesh!! That is a very ignorant comment. The context in which I said
"not in this case" means "not in this instance", flamer.

And in this instance (look up "instance" in the dictionary if you
don't know what it means) Burt said in response to F = ma

> Then what about weightless mass?

While it has little place in this discussion he's not a fool for
asking the question, just misinformed (hence the ***question***).

If one defines mass by F = ma then mass has no meaning unless there is
a force. Hence Burt's question. Pay attention please. Otherwise you'll
make more ignorant comments like you did here.

Burt - mass is *not* defined as m = F/a. That was shown to be a
serious problem. In fact that expressions is not how force is defined
in general. Force is defined as F = dp/dt where p = mv.

*inertial* mass is defined as p = mv. Hence inertial mass has little
meaning unless something can be moving.

You're confusing the classical definition of kinetic energy for a
tardyon with the correct modern definition of kinetic energy in
relativity

The kinetic energy K of a particle is related to its total inertial
energy E and rest energy E_0 by defined as

E = K + E_0

For a photon

E = hf
E_0 = 0

Therefore

K = hf

Since frequency is frame dependant then so too is kinetic energy.

Light has an energyless motion and an energy wave.
