  • Why physicists don’t say: ‘ potential mass/energy E=Mc^2’ ?

    According to SRT rest mass and rest energy have equivalent
    meaning: E= Mc^2 or M= Ec^2.
    Why SRT and Quantum theory use word:’ rest mass /energy E= Mc^2 ‘
    and don’t say: ‘ potential mass/energy E= Mc^2 ’ ?

    When somebody says ‘ the particle in the rest . . .’, then we
    can image that particle was going maybe to sleep, maybe
    to have a cup of coffee . . . . etc.
    That a strange terminology the physicists use.
    ======== .
    My opinion.

    In Classic physics there is ‘ potential energy’ and
    there is ‘ kinetic energy’.
    And „The Law of Conservation and Transformation of
    Energy/ Mass" connects them together.

    In Quantum physics the ’rest mass/enegy’ looks as a static factor.
    I think that there is problem here.
    Because in QT there is ’rest mass/enegy E=Mc^2’ and
    there is active / kinetic energy E=hf. But how „The Law of
    Conservation and Transformation of Energy/ Mass"
    can unite them together nobody explains.

    In other words:
    Dont know how to explain transforms the potenial
    mass/enegy E=Mc^2 into the active / kinetic energy E=hf
    the physicsts began to use new terminology and new words.
