Re: energy in the tank


Energy changes are mass changes (albeit normally very tiny mass changes).
However, we DO tend to think of mass as 'stuff', as real. So if mass and
energy are equivalent, then why isn't energy 'stuff' and 'real'?

Jim???

In my little world "mass" is not stuff -- Mass is a property of an object
-- along with color, charge, and energy.

The property of mass of an iceberg increases as the iceberg melts --
except in a hyperbolic quantum super-space continuum that someone well
conjure up momentarily
