Oh, you can say you do when you measure a mass at rest in the same in which E is measured (more gibberish), but that makes no sense. You can measure a mass at rest in a frame in which another object exists that is moving in space at the same speed and direction as your mass, which means that they are both moving at constant velocity wrt each other, and you can't call that rest mass because rest mass is a math construct useful for many things, but not for saying what I think you're trying to say above, as that sounds like you need sleep. You have taken two objects from a frame where only the two exist and projected them onto the entire universe! |
