In laboratory,on a lab bench,I have mounted a pistol on a stand.The pistol is facing a wall,a few meters away from the barrel's end,on which a vertical scale is affixed.When the pistol is fired the bullet will hit the scale.I determine the mass of the lead projectile.(Mass at rest in Earth's gravitational field) I then fire the pistol---BANG---BANG.The first bang is the powder in the bullet exploding;the second is the projectile hitting the scale.The powder exploding adds energy to the projectile and it propels towards the scale.You're seeing this experiment as Newton and I'm seeing it as Einstein.Einstein has energy turning into mass.When the projectile hit the scale our flight captain said that the mass definitely exponentially increased!This would be photons turning into particles with mass.The particle of mass in the atom is the electron,the nucleus is in the node.To be an electron the electron has to orbit in a shell.There isn't enough energy to hold these electrons in a shell so at the scale we detect cosmic rays.If we were to accelerate the projectile to the velocity of light the electrons would orbit in an electron shell.As a matter of fact all energy pouring into the atom would turn into electron at light speeds.At light speeds the entire atom is in a node--Balthor.
