Part 10/19:
Traditional physics treats mass and energy as interchangeable, often citing Einstein’s ( E=mc^2 ). However, this equation is, according to the new model, a correlation rather than a true interchangeability. The previous definitions, which include mass in energy calculations, are circular and obscure the real mechanisms. Etherum mechanics proposes a single-body approach, where energy is a measure of a system’s configuration—specifically, the energy of a two-body system—independent of mass as a fundamental property.
