Relativistic Energy and Momentum
According to classical physics, time flow is the same for every observer. But according to einstein's theory, time flow is different for different observers. The idea that time flow is not the same for all may sound strange because we may not experience …

Answer to Problem 18RQ

The energy and mass are two different forms that are discovered by Albert Einstein.

Explanation of Solution

In the 1900s, it was discovered by the famous scientist Albert Einstein that the mass is actually congealed or frozen energy.

According to his special relativity theory, all non-accelerating observers that the law of physics is same and the speed of light is independent in the vacuum on the motion of all observers.

Conclusion:

Therefore, energy and mass are two different forms that are discovered by Albert Einstein.
