J. Muhyedeen Department of Chemistry, College of Science University of Baghdad, Jadriyah, Baghdad, Iraq Contact e-mail [email protected] Abstract The correct meaning of E=mvv and E=mcc have been discussed. The discussion has shown that the second v and c are conversion factors and not v2 and c2 in these two equations respectively. These velocities (v and c) are used to convert the momentum units to energy units. The first v and c in both equations should be multiplied with the mass to form the momentum term. The essential issue is the momentum and not the mass where it is an absolute quantity and it will not give any indication while the momentum gives a clear vision about the moving mass. The speculative Lorentz factor has also discussed to be incorrect when used in special relativity to increase the mass of the materials through changing their velocities. The concept of conversion between mass and energy is discussed in chemical and nuclear reactions to show it is incorrect and the annihilation reactions of electron-positron are pseudo processes. A new non-relativistic mass-energy equivalence is used E=mbc as an alternative, where b is a derived universal constant and equal to 0.603797 x 108 m/s which gives E/m= 1.8101351214 x 1016 J/kg or 1u= 187.607 MeV/bc. The ratio of mbc/mc2 is equal to (187.607) / (931.49) = 0.2014 which gave 41.7 MeV/bc for the Total Kinetic Energy (TKE) of fission fragments of experimental value 29.4- 2 2 37.8 MeV/bc rather than 200 MeV/c given by E=mc . The magnetic constant of charged field μb was calculated from Maxwell formula and found to be equal to 3.265 x 10-6 N/A2 and it was larger than magnetic constant of electromagnetic field μo by 24.65. Keywords: E=mc2, E=mbc, Mass-Energy Equivalence, new mass-energy equivalence, photon-frequenton, states of matter, speed of light-charged particle velocity constant, b, magnetic constant μb, relativistic mass, relativity, types of energy. 1. Introduction Our present understanding of energy comes from different time periods, different experimental results of science and different theories and models. The substantial concepts of mass and energy and their relationship in the universe were continually changed throughout history by Greek, Roman, Arab, Indian and Chinese Philosophers. The inertia of motion was described in the 3rd century BC by the Chinese philosopher Mo Tzu, and in the 11th AC century by the Muslim scientist, Ibn al-Haytham Alhazen who stated Newton's first and second law of motion in 965-1039, Risala fi’l-makan (Treatise on Place) (i.e. 650 years before Newton laws), (Salam, 1984) and Avicenna also stated Newton's first and second law of motion in 980-1037 in his book: Ibn Sīnā's, Kitab al mayl (Theory of Inclination) (Espinoza, 2005). New Concept of Mass-Energy Equivalence 162 But the most acceptable mathematical definition for mass and energy was written by Gottfried Leibniz over the period 1676-1689 to express his theory vis viva of conservation of energy ∑ (from Latin for living force) (Mackie’s, 1845) and the theory of the conservation of momentum ∑ by Isaac Newton (British) in 1687 and René Decartes (French) in 1645 (Gullberg, 1997). These two theories were considered as controversial at that time but later they were understood as complementary. The mass concept is usually related to the energy. The mass is a fundamental concept in chemistry and it is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects. The concept of energy and its transformations is extremely useful in explaining and predicting most natural phenomena. Energy transformations in the universe over time are characterized by various kinds of potential energy which has been available since the Big Bang, later being released (i.e. transformed to more active types of energy such as kinetic or radiant energy) when a triggering mechanism is available. In the duration from the 19th century to the 20th century the mass-energy concept became more realistic for both issues when many scientists shared in crystallization of the concepts to understand deeply the secret of the universe. In 1804 John Dalton stated his five main points of his Atomic Theory. The discovery of the electron by J. J. Thomson (1897), the discovery of the proton by Ernest Rutherford (1919) and the discovery of neutron by James Chadwick (1932) in the first two decades of the twentieth century has set the real foundations of the atomic and nuclear structure. The subsequent theoretical and experimental researches on the energy, atom, nuclei, isotopes, waves and particles led to the branch of fundamental sciences that deals with atomic and subatomic systems which we today call quantum mechanics. It is the basic mathematical framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, solid-state physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, particle physics, nuclear physics, quantum chromodynamics and quantum gravity. The foundations of quantum mechanics were established during the first half of the 20th century by Max Planck, Curie, Albert Einstein, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, John von Neumann, Paul Dirac, Wolfgang Pauli and others (Planck M. 1901-1908, Einstein, 1905, Rutherford, 1904-1933, Bohr, 1913, De Broglie, 1924, Bernstein, 2005, Heisenberg, 1925-1927, Schrödinger, 1926, Macrae, 1999, Dirac, 1928, Pauli, Wolfgang and Jung, 1955). The theories and discoveries of thousands of nuclear physicists and chemists since the 1910s have resulted in a notable understanding into the fundamental structure of matter. These findings explained to us several facts about how the matter is composed of elementary and composite particles and how the forces control these particles. The Standard Model has integrated all these efforts and concepts to crystalize them for use in the data explanations of most of the experimental results (Bromley, 2000; Kane, 1987). The experts of CERN said “Even though the Standard Model is currently the best description there is of the subatomic world, it does not explain the complete picture. The theory incorporates only three out of the four fundamental forces, omitting gravity”. Other speculative theories tried to remedy these deficiencies such as Preon Theory which is coined by Jogesh Pati and Abdus Salam in 1974- (Pati and Salam, 1974; Dugne et al, 2002). This theory believes that there are one or more orders of particles more fundamental than those found in the Standard Model called preons, which are derived from "pre-quarks" and look like “particle zoo model” that came before it. The interest in preons has vanished also since the simplest models were experimentally ruled out in the 1980s. More theories have been suggested such as Supersymmetry theory, string theory and grand unification theory. Supersymmetry theory states that for every type of boson there exists a corresponding type of fermion such as sleptons, squarks, neutralinos and charginos (Martin, 1999; Lykken, 1996; Drees, 1996; Bilal, 2001; Arygres, 2001). The Grand Unification Theory is a theory that searches for precise explanations to all physical phenomena in the universe starting with the combining of the three fundamental forces: the electromagnetic force, the strong force and the weak force at high energies. It failed to combine the forth force due the lack of understanding of gravity (Ross, 1984, Parker, 1993; Hawking, 1988). 163 Bahjat R. J. Muhyedeen A more recent model is the string theory which suggests that all "particles" that make up matter and energy are comprised of strings, measuring at the Planck length (Arygres, 2001; Cooper et al, 1995; Junker, 1996). These strings exist in an 11-dimensional universe to prevent tears in the "fabric" of space using the uncertainty principle, whereas our own existence is merely a 4-brane, inside which exist the 3 space dimensions and the 1 time dimension that we observe. It predicts the existence of a massless spin-2 particle behaving like the graviton (Schwartz, 1998; Troost, 2005; Witten, 2005). In my previous article I proposed a novel nuclear model to depict the nuclear structure and to explain the nuclear reactions. The model proposes new elementary particles called conservons and sub- quarks called magnetons. The magnetons are basic building blocks of the fermions while the conservons control the conservation of mass number, linear momentum, total energy, charge and spins during the nuclear reactions law of conservations. The electron, protons and neutrons are composed of the integer multiple of sub-quarks elementary particles magnetons. The protons have certain stable mass and the neutron have several stables masses depending on the isotope Z and N. The neutron will have unstable masses in the radioactive nuclides. I also have discussed the idea of conversion of mass to energy and vice versa and I showed it is incorrect as it is neither in the chemical nor in nuclear reactions. The annihilation reactions of electron- positron are disintegration processes rather than annihilation processes, because the annihilation will break the laws of conservations (Muhyedeen, 2008). In addition to that I proposed the fifth and sixth states of matter. The fifth state represents the Nuclear Transparency in which the nuclear components are loosely bound and free to endure a nuclear reaction due to the weakness of the electromagnetic belt surrounding the nucleus. Beyond this region toward the sun core the fermions will be crashed and disintegrated into to their elementary particles, magnetons, which accumulated in hazy form which I called nuclear magma.
