: : I have been told that mass cannot truly be converted to : : energy. Is this true?

: The best paradigm(in my opinion) for mass/energy is to think of mass as local proper frame energy. In this light mass already is a form of energy. Instead of thinking of it as something other than energy being converted into energy, it can be thought of as an energy other than kinetic being converted into kinetic. In this way of thinking about it mass isn't converted into energy, but instead one form of energy called mass is converted into another called kinetic.

Light? You can see lamp at your room. It is matter thing. This matter thing is close. Lamp dont sense light at your room.

When you make lamp on, light born at your lamp.

Matter thing, lamp, make, matter thing, light, and this light flies round of your room, and you can see.

Kinetic energy?

What mean word kinetic?
