But you can go the other way. You can turn mass into energy. The example people always cite is is nuclear power or nuclear explosion. That is a way of rearranging the nuclei of atoms so that some of the mass of those nuclei gets turned into photons. So this inter conversion of mass and energies is really very familiar, and it pervades most of physics. We're just like you can convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy or something in a vehicle. It's just
