As one wise scholar has asked...
"I understand that Einstein says that potential energy has mass, but where this mass sits is sometimes difficult to determine. The concept of potential energy is Newtonian, so, how do you reflate it to Albert's mass energy equivalence assertion?"
Please enlighten us!

Dear Ron:
An easy question to start....
What is life?
An easy question to start....
What is life?
2) Living things get rid of waste.
3) Living things grow and develop.
4) Living things respond to their environment.
5) Living things reproduce and pass their traits onto their offspring.
6) Over time, living things evolve in response to their environment.
Given that I haven't seen any growth or development from you since we've known each other, this throws your claim to being "alive" into question. I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but you did ask.

I truly appreciate your response.
But... I did not ask if I was alive... I just asked "what is life"...
Please stay on topic in all future responses!
