fckm,

No offense, but I've been through phys1&2 and am a trained scientist

and I think maybe you missed my point.

First, energy isn't a property of matter like mass or velocity, Einstein clearly showed us that they ARE THE SAME THING, much as ice and steam are the same thing. Matter can certainly have different energetic states, but that doesn't detract from the original supposition.
