Mass cannot be discounted, for it is real.

I have a quote, which was given to me from up on high, but will need to find it. but here is the jist of it.

paraphrasing:
I created all around you and within you. that matter is a gas, liquid or solid or that your atoms translate into a solid is a whole other matter.

it has new meaning for me. I will find the original and post some time later.

Mass is energy translated into TIGHTLY compacted atoms.
