What exactly *is* mass?
>It's the amount of stuff bro
I don't get it. What "stuff?" Is the word "essence" a better description of mass?

quantitative measure of inertia
>Is the word "essence" a better description of mass?
How many languages did you learn before english? Mass linguisitually speaking is a unit of measure and therefor plural. We could rename it into essence but it would have to be called 'determined essence' or 'essential weight'.
>quantitative measure of inertia
nah inertia is a dynamic factor, mass is a quantitative measure of gravitational field displacement.
So is inertia a "thing?"
>How many languages did you learn before english?
None, the word "stuff" always seemed like a dumb way to describe it.
>We could rename it into essence but it would have to be called 'determined essence' or 'essential weight'.
To me, essence makes a lot more sense when describing mass, like it's an imbued property of matter.
>To me, essence makes a lot more sense when describing mass, like it's an imbued property of matter.
thats the opposite of what mass is though, its not imbued, its inherent.

>implying light is mass
If light is a particle it has mass. Obviously it's an aether wave though so you're right.
>If light is a particle
yes
>it has mass
no
Yes it's an aether wave so it has no mass.
Light exists so it obviously can't be a wave in the aether since the aether doesn't exist.
Light is a wave. Aether is the name for the field which propagates it. Call it spacetime or the Anon Field or whatever you want, it still exists.
>Aether is the name for the field which propagates it.
homie it's not the 1800s, are you a /misc/ tourist or something?
>Yes it's an aether wave
no
Mass only happens when energy is confined. Photons are unconfined energy.
tell that to the average cloud weighing 1 billion lbs
>Is the word "essence" a better description of mass?
No. The existing words work fine. Frick off.
>Frick off
No
>You're probably better off not worrying too much about such questions unless you're enrolled in a philosophy course or some other dumb shit
My problem is that it tripped me up when I first learned about it
We have no fricking clue and it seems intuitive enough to just call it the "quantity of matter" or something along those lines.
It also turns out to be directly proportional to the inertia of a body, so you can see it in that light if you want.
You're probably better off not worrying too much about such questions unless you're enrolled in a philosophy course or some other dumb shit.
Property of stuff which causes it to resist movement. The more mass, the more force you need to accelerate it.
you just described the behavior of that property, but what IS the property
>what is a human
>a human is a thing that likes to go to the beach and collect stamps
literally gets us no further in figuring out what it is at a fundamental level
Mass = a property of stuff
A property = a behavior
This is like saying wind is the stuff that blows things around, when in actuality it's composed of air particles that move due to a difference in temperature
Mass is not made from anything. It is a property of something that is made out of something, but the property in and of itself is not made from anything. It just means that the object resists movement.
If mass is not made of anything how does it exist then?
It's emergent from the collective interactions of the energy contained within.
Yes. And people. Non-religious people know the exact equation. And we are getting very pissed watching these Catholic fools bumble around
We have solved the TOE. This is not a joke. Or irony. With a Catholic president, Court and FED there is ZERO chance for goodwill on this matter. BUT KNOW ANON THAT IT IS FRICKING DONE.
redpill me on the toe and how it keeps the Catholics away
The same way as something like velocity exists. Velocity is not made from anything. A car can have velocity, but velocity is not made out of cars. It's a property of car.

Than you very much

>What exactly *is* mass?
a quality, more specifically the quality of resisting change in momentum
ultimately what we refer to as objects with mass are standing waves of extremely high-frequency light (far beyond gamma rays), but contemporary physics is yet to catch up

Just for the record, this is buffoonery.
wow look at this fricking moron who doesnt know einstein proved mass and energy are the same thing
e=mc^2
mic drop.
Impulse resistance. Simple as.
>It's the amount of stuff bro
It is. Think about it as how many atoms or small stuff you have there.
>An Avogrado's Number of Carbon atoms is 12 grams.
Water clear.
Mass is just a side effect of more happenings in a tiny area causing more lag.
How about you join a pedophile homosexual Catholic university. I am sure they know stuff lmfao
>What exactly *is* mass?
It's the amount of stuff bro
>I don't get it. What "stuff?"
Stuff as in literally anything that isn't energy. Delete your low IQ thread already.
